Introduction:
The HMC series of conferences has previously been focused on mining and processing of heavy minerals. Whilst this conference will still focus on these important issues, there is a shift in focus to include some of the more strategic risks affecting this industry. With the recent global changes such as climate change and its effect on operations close to sea level, the energy crisis and its effect on the economics of smelting and geopolitical risk and its effect on supply chains dependent on unfriendly countries. The future of the industry is now at risk from such changes which are outside of its immediate control. Failure to recognise these significant risks could impact the entire future of the heavy minerals industry. There are also time constraints on finding solutions to such issues. This conference will attempt to high light some of those risks and to suggest possible mitigation measures
