Historic Turnout at MRMR 2024
The inaugural MRMR Conference brought together professionals from across the mineral resources and mineral reserves community for technical learning, professional exchange, and international collaboration.
Building on the 2024 conference, MRMR 2026 will offer an expanded technical program, additional opportunities for professional exchange, and focused learning through technical sessions, workshops, and short courses.
Why MRMR is Different
Unlike broader mining conferences, MRMR focuses on the complete mineral resources and mineral reserves lifecycle. Its program connects exploration and geological modelling with resource estimation, reporting standards, mine planning, finance, ESG considerations, and mine closure.
By bringing together the disciplines involved in responsible mineral development, MRMR creates a focused environment for technical learning, professional exchange, and collaboration.
