Building the Critical Minerals Supply Chains for Allied Defence Capability

The Beacon Leadership Roundtables are IMARC's most senior, invitation-only forums, bringing together 15 strategic leaders for a 90-minute closed-door discussion held under Chatham House Rule. Each Roundtable is co-curated with the Roundtable Host and supported by a select group of 20 invited senior industry observers, creating a trusted environment for candid, peer-level discussion on one of the mining industry's most pressing strategic challenges.

Critical minerals are fundamental to allied defence capability, but the challenge is translating strategic demand into commercially viable mining, processing and advanced materials supply chains. This Roundtable brings together senior leaders from Defence and government, mining and processing, capital, defence primes, technology and infrastructure to identify the capability gaps, investment barriers and practical actions needed to build secure and competitive allied supply chains.

Participation in the Beacon Leadership Roundtables is by invitation only.
