    AI is moving rapidly beyond chatbots and productivity tools toward systems that can analyze information, identify opportunities, support decisions and execute workflows. For critical-minerals companies operating in an increasingly complex environment of capital constraints, supply-chain risks, policy changes and competition, this creates a significant opportunity.

    This session will explore how companies can move from experimenting with AI to using it as an intelligence layer across strategy, market intelligence, and capital formation. It will highlight practical use cases, including where AI implementations can create significant value and where companies need to be particularly careful about data, cost, governance and human oversight.

    China did not accidentally secure roughly 90% of the global critical minerals supply chain—it was the result of decades of strategic investment, resource acquisition, processing capacity, financing, industrial policy and coordinated execution. This session examines how China achieved this position and, more importantly, how it can be challenged through DIBC, resources and loans.

    Many critical materials—unlike widely recycled metals such as aluminum—do not yet have fully established closed‑loop solutions.

    This discussion will explore what it takes to move a critical materials recovery concept from research to real-world commercial deployment — and why success depends on ecosystem alignment as much as technical innovation.
