A new administration in the White House is threatening to impose hefty tariffs on major trading partners, while at home elections could bring change to Canberra and the big resource states like Queensland and Western Australia. It means extra turbulence for an industry trying to keep pace with the fast-changing demands of big global battery makers, rising competition from regions like Africa, tightening sustainability standards, and the ongoing challenges of cyclical commodity prices. Such volatility often sparks M&A activity and IPOs – so where will investors place their bets?</p><p>Moderated and curated by the Financial Review鈥檚 experienced team of journalists, the 2025 Mining Summit will bring together the sector鈥檚 most influential leaders to confront critical questions: How can Australian miners stay globally competitive, drive sustainability, and extend the value chain for future prosperity?</p><p class="has-text-align-center"><strong>Early bird registration closes Wednesday March 26, 2025.</strong></p><p class="has-text-align-center">To read the editorial coverage
