Eurasia – MENA Mining Summit

24-25 April 2013 Istanbul / TURKEY

THE SUMMIT


The summit is 100% supported and backed by the Turkish Mining Association. This is the only event that the Turkish Mining Association are partnering.

The Eurasia-MENA Mining Summit will offer an unparalleled opportunity to all participants to be involved in the very exciting future this industry is heading towards. The major contributors will cover the effective and efficient extraction, production, trading and technologies needed for the future.

The Mining industry is, alongside agriculture, one of the main raw material producers of economic stability. Both developed and developing countries that utilise their natural resources effectively owe a great portion of their current economic power and success to this industry. This sector is particularly important for 2 main reasons a) its direct contribution to the economy and b) the input it provides for other industries for example the manufacturing sector.

The main purpose of the mining sector is to incorporate underground resources into the economy in a way that adds value and to cater for the Industry and Energy sector raw material needs in a reliable and economical fashion.

Mining accounts for around 4% share of total GDP in developed countries and 2% in the world. Currently, mineral production in the world is over 10 billion tonnes amounting to 1.5 trillion USD. 75% of it concerns the production of energy raw materials, 10% metallic ores and 15 % industrial raw materials. Today the sector is becoming a growth area of economic activity worldwide.

Over the last century, world GDP has grown more than 18 times and in line with this the global consumption of resources has increased too. Worldwide crude oil consumption has soared by 172 times with a rise from 20.43 million to 3.5 billion tonnes and steel consumption by 30 times with a rise from 27.80 million tonnes to 847 million tonnes. Whereas, aluminum consumption has shown an increase of around 3,600 times with a rise from 6,800 up to 24.54 million tonnes, copper consumption has surged by 28 times with a rise from 495 to 14 million tonnes.

Post 2003, global economic developments and the surging growth rates in China and other countries have highlighted a higher demand for raw materials. Limited supply of metallic ores versus the strong demand has pushed up metal prices to maximum levels in the last 4-5 years all over the world.

Despite its huge mineral potential, China continues to be a great buyer of many raw materials. As China’s demand for raw materials keeps increasing, this results in the decline of major and crucial reserves such as copper, iron, chromium and manganese. According to experts, local production of some metal ores meets only one third of the demand and some others just half. Likewise the consumption of minerals such as aluminum, steel and coal has significantly increased in China. All in all, China is the largest trader and consumer of all mineral products in the world. Continuing growth of the Chinese economy coupled with its rising demand for mineral products have played a stimulating role in the development of the global mining industry. This is posing an opportunity for developing countries which have rich and diversified mineral resources, which, in turn, is providing significant revitalisation of the Mining industry.

China has played a significant role in the economic development of many East Asian countries which have substantial potential for mineral resources. Reports from the Chinese Academy for Energy clearly suggest that China’s mining industry has still a major distance to cover and that the mining industry will continue to be vital for the Chinese economy in the coming 15 20 Years
