Critical Minerals Australia 2027
Join Critical Minerals Australia 2027 for direct access to lithium, rare earth and refining leaders shaping supply policy.
In short
Critical Minerals Australia 2027 is a conference on engineering taking place in Perth, Australia, from 8–9 Feb 2027.
About this event
Welcome to Critical Minerals Australia 2027, Perth's meeting point for mining, defence, clean energy, manufacturing and technology leaders, as the conference turns to downstream processing.
Five sectors compete for the same minerals as strategic reserves, processing incentives, investment screening, and export controls take effect. Direct lithium extraction, hydrometallurgy, solvent extraction, and rare earth separation now reach commercial scale, opening routes to downstream value.
Join operators, technology providers, financiers and policymakers to decide which downstream routes earn capital and shape Australia's minerals future.
Learn how home refining, rather than raw ore exports, reshapes margins, project design, and local operators' roles in the value chain.
Balance offtake decisions as defence programmes, cell manufacturers, and storage developers draw on the same minerals and compete for priority.
Explore how resilient, allied supply takes shape on the ground as refining concentrates in a few hands while demand spreads across nations and sectors.
