What's Happening?
The Future Minerals Forum (FMF) has announced a partnership with BMO, a leading metals and mining investment bank, to drive investment in the global metals and mining sector. This collaboration aims to promote global mineral development through investment promotion
and enhance engagement with targeted investors. The partnership will leverage BMO's expertise in metals and mining as FMF convenes leaders from mining companies and large investors to explore international investment opportunities. The partnership is part of FMF's mission to facilitate investment in mineral development in regions such as Africa, Western and Central Asia, and globally.
Why It's Important?
This partnership is crucial for the global metals and mining sector as it seeks to attract investment and foster growth in mineral development. By collaborating with BMO, FMF aims to create a robust platform for investment opportunities, which could lead to increased funding and development in the sector. This initiative is particularly significant for regions like the MENA and the Super Region, where mineral resources are abundant but underdeveloped. The partnership could lead to sustainable growth and development in these regions, benefiting local economies and contributing to global mineral supply chains.
What's Next?
The Future Minerals Forum, under the theme 'Gateway to Funding,' will introduce new elements to its upcoming event in Riyadh from January 13 to 15, 2026. This event will serve as a platform for stakeholders to discuss and explore investment opportunities in the metals and mining sector. The partnership with BMO is expected to enhance the forum's ability to attract investors and drive significant investment into the sector.
