Resourcing Tomorrow Hong Kong Announces Mining, Metals & Critical Minerals Investment Briefing

Ahead of Resourcing Tomorrow Hong Kong, Beacon Events will host a one-day Mining, Metals, Critical Metals and Technology 101 Investment Briefing on 15 April 2026.

The executive-level session is designed to provide investors, corporate strategists and commercial decision-makers with a structured, high-level understanding of how the mining and metals system functions — and how that informs capital allocation.

Mining and metals are frequently treated as a single asset class. In reality, they comprise multiple distinct markets, each with their own geological constraints, economic characteristics, pricing mechanics and geopolitical exposure.

The briefing will approach the sector from the perspective of a generalist seeking clarity across a complex and often misunderstood landscape.

Structured Around Three Core Industrial Supply Chains

Excluding gold, approximately 80% of the industrial mining and metals universe sits within three dominant value chains:

• Steel (ferrous metals)
• Aluminium
• Copper
•  

The session will examine geology, extraction and processing fundamentals, pricing dynamics, value capture across the supply chain, and common misconceptions — including contrasts with oil & gas.

It will also address “buzzword” themes such as critical minerals, downstreaming, ESG and green premiums, separating political narrative from commercial reality.

Gold will be examined as a distinct case, given its monetary characteristics relative to industrial metals.

Expert-Led Sessions

The day will be led by:

Ian Hiscock, Chief Executive Officer, MMC Partners
Providing a structured introduction to mining and metals fundamentals.

Mark Frayman, Managing Partner, Orion Industrial Ventures
Leading a mining technology investment briefing.

Amanda Van Dyke, Board Member, Primary Commodity Fund and author of The Mineral Imperative
Presenting a critical minerals primer focused on strategic and capital implications.

Designed for Senior Decision-Makers

The session is targeted at senior investors, family offices, traders, financiers, regulators and corporate executives seeking a grounded understanding of mining exposure ahead of deeper industry engagement at Resourcing Tomorrow Hong Kong.

The briefing will run from 09:30 to 16:30, with networking breaks throughout the day.

Attendance is limited to maintain discussion quality.
