The Assay Live: Supply Chain Security for Critical Minerals

Tuesday, 23 November, 10am HKT

The Australian government recently announced the establishment of a A$2 billion loan facility for domestic critical minerals projects. Critical minerals such as lithium and the REEs are a growing strategic focus for governments around the world due to their position in the future energy economy, and demand is expected to grow significantly. Australia’s new facility will address some of the financing gaps currently in place and help ensure that producers can establish themselves within the greater supply chains.

During this session, participants will discuss if and how this initiative can secure Australia’s role in the future energy economy, funding and other requirements, players that are set to make an impact in this space and why, and finally, any takeaways from other similar regional initiatives.

Confirmed panellists:
Jan Fuchter, Director, Project & Structured Finance, Export Finance Australia
Adrian Griffin, Managing Director, Lithium Australia
Dan Porter, Portfolio Manager – Resources Fund, PURE Asset Management
