Highlights of Kamran Khozan's Speech

Africa has always been one of the top 5 locations for mining industry, if not the first one. One of the reasons for African mining being so popular is cheap labor and the extremely poor quality of workers lives, has been easy to hide under geopolitical and racial covers for centuries.

Now, the world has started to change and African nations have began to stand for their rights and seek a better life and future for themselves and their country and continent.

Kamran M. Khozan walks us through the history of force labor in Africa and the systematic changes that is happening in Africa.

Highlights of Micheal Hargett's Presentation

American critical minerals market has entered into a tight phase since the Tariffs became one of the hot topics of everyday's news. Now one of the most important questions people in mining and refining industry face is what is going to happen to the United States Critical Minerals Market while China's domination of this market continues.

What is China's long term plan? How is it going to manage this situation and what can we learn from China?

Michael Hargett addresses these questions.
