Welcome to the First EAGE Conference on the Future of Mineral Exploration:

Challenges and Opportunities

South America is a leading jurisdiction for the mining industry, providing several critical raw materials to the world, containing abundant strategic geological resources, and attracting one of the highest foreign direct investments in exploration in recent years. In a complex global economy scenario, complemented by decarbonization compromises and socio-environmental-led decisions, mining faces many challenges as a crucial industry for world development. To accomplish the goals for a greener future, including connectivity, transportation, and energy generation, the supply of some critical minerals needs to be secured.

The First EAGE Conference on the Future of Mineral Exploration: Challenges and Opportunities is dedicated to addressing the critical role of mineral exploration in meeting the growing global demand for strategic resources. This event focuses on innovative technologies, sustainable practices, and collaborative solutions to unlock mineral potential while minimizing environmental and social impacts.

From advanced geophysical techniques to sustainable water management in salt flats, the conference will highlight the trends and challenges that are shaping the future of the industry.

This conference brings together geoscientists, exploration professionals, researchers, policymakers, and industry stakeholders dedicated to advancing innovation and sustainability in mineral exploration. It is especially relevant for those involved in:

Critical mineral exploration (e.g., lithium, copper, rare earths)
Environmental geology, hydrogeology, and geochemistry
Emerging fields such as marine mining, geoenergies, and sustainable exploration practices
Companies and organizations seeking solutions for the energy transition and future resource needs

Participants can expect actionable insights into the latest trends and challenges in mineral exploration, exposure to innovative technologies, and discussions on sustainable practices.

The event also aims to promote interdisciplinary collaboration, encouraging partnerships that will shape the future of the sector.Join us to be part of a transformative dialogue that will influence the future of mineral exploration and resource sustainability!
