Since its inauguration in 2022, FMF has provided a voice for supplier nations and enabled partnerships with customer countries to drive shared prosperity, foster sustainability and build trust through responsible actions.
This year’s FMF theme is “Dawn of a Global Cause.” The 2025 edition of the event featured around 250 speakers, a ministerial roundtable, international geological survey meetings, conferences, country pavilions, exhibitions and networking events. Over 14,000 delegates, including 70 ministers and 1,000 CEOs, attended the event.
