Critical Minerals '26 programme now available

We are pleased to announce an outstanding programme for Critical Minerals '26 in Cape Town. The full programme, including abstracts and details of the presenters can be found on the conference website, and a pdf of the timetable is also available.

Thirty-nine presentations are scheduled over the two days, including two high-profile keynotes from Prof. Jacques Eksteen and Prof. Chun-Xia Zhao, the response being such that we have closed abstract submission, any abstracts now being received being put on a waiting list.

As with all MEI Conferences, time will also be given for socialising and networking, including welcoming and closing receptions and an informal conference dinner at the nearby Wild Fig restaurant, which impressed us at the recent Mineral Processing Circuits '26.

Thanks to our sponsors Promet101, Capstone Copper, Petrolab and AECI Mining Chemicals, our media partners International Mining and Minerals Engineering and our industry advocate CEEC: Coalition for Minerals Efficiency.
