MINEX Central Asia Forum

MINEX Central Asia Forum: Driving Sustainable Growth in the Region’s Mineral Economy

The MINEX Central Asia Forum has emerged as a pivotal event in the global conversation on sustainable mining and mineral resource development. Held this year at the Hilton Tashkent City in Uzbekistan, the forum will unite key stakeholders from across Central Asia and beyond to explore the region’s role in securing the future of critical minerals. Since its founding in 2010, MINEX has grown into one of the most respected international conferences focusing on environmentally responsible practices, strategic collaboration, and the sustainable use of natural resources.

This 11th edition, themed “Forging Central Asia’s Role in Global Critical Minerals Security,” will emphasize the region’s rising importance in the global minerals landscape. By bringing together nations from Central Asia, as well as partners from Europe, North America, Asia, and the Middle East, the forum facilitates a collaborative environment where innovation and integration converge.

Central Asia’s Geological Potential on the Global Stage

Central Asia is home to vast, underexplored mineral wealth. Countries such as Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan possess abundant reserves of gold, uranium, rare earth elements, and other strategic metals. Historically overshadowed by larger global producers, these nations are now positioning themselves as key contributors to the emerging green economy.

The global push toward clean energy, electrification, and digital infrastructure has dramatically increased the demand for critical raw materials. Central Asia, with its untapped deposits and strategic location between Europe and Asia, is becoming an essential part of the conversation around sustainable sourcing and resilient supply chains.
