Event Agenda

Explore emerging technologies in Arizona’s Critical Mineral Frontier Arizona has long been a primary engine of American mineral production, providing nearly 70% of the nation’s copper. As the world transitions to a high-tech, electrified economy, the definition of mining is undergoing a radical transformation. We are moving beyond the legacy methods of extraction and entering an era defined by precision mining, autonomous equipment, advanced refining, and the circularity of rare earth materials. This will serve as a forum connecting innovators, industry leaders and investors advancing the next generation of mining and critical mineral technology. This session will include startup panels, industry fireside chats and focused networking to connect diverse sets of stakeholders.
