The 12th annual Mining and Exploration forum – MINEX Russia 2016
will be held in Moscow on 4-6 October 2016.

The 11th Mining and Exploration Forum – MINEX Russia took place in Moscow, Radisson Slavyanskaya Hotel on 6-8th October 2015.
Delegates-300Organised under the slogan “‘ACCELERATED DEVELOPMENT – PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES” MINEX Russia 2015 Forum brought together over 500 leaders and experts from Russian and international companies. As Russia is swiftly moving into its “modernisation mode” the Forum became an industry-wide platform for the discussion of the potential for the mining industry’s recovery and accelerated growth.

This year, this premier meeting of the Russian mining industry was organised on the backdrop of the strategic rethinking of the country’s economic priorities and emerging role of the mining industry as a potential backbone for accelerated development of the mineral-rich areas in the Far East and Siberia.

Russia is generously endowed with human and natural resources. The main issue -to ensure they are effectively used. Over the last 25-30 years after the replacement of the Soviet planning system and with the market conditions the Russian mining industry has managed to gain commercial success from many projects, which were previously considered to be uneconomical and often abandoned. These achievements were possible, not because of the state support, but thanks to the implementation of the new approaches and creative thinking by managers and investors.

Russia is deeply integrated into the global production, trade and investment. In the current situation of uncertainty and overhaul of the global geopolitical and economic priorities, the medium-term objective is getting Russia’s economic development back to the pre-crisis levels. However, the main challenge faced by the authorities and businesses alike remain the realisation of the internal potentials, which could provide a basis for sustainable and accelerated growth. With a continuing global growth of living standards and the urban population, development of infrastructure projects and creation of new technologies, the role of metals and minerals will be vital for international economic development in the 21st century.

Some of the themes discussed: 

  • Perspective directions for the development of the mining industry, in the context of ongoing economic reforms.
  • Opportunities and mechanisms to stimulate developments in the mining industry in the Far Eastern territories.
  • New approaches, strategies and solutions for the mining industry to adapt to changing conditions and to provide a new level of competitiveness and advancing development.
