Overview Back to top

The minor/specialty metals industry has seen substantial price increases over the past year as China continues to exert a powerful influence over all the markets and as an improved economic outlook in Europe and the USA has seen demand from end-use sectors pick up again. Minor Metals 2004 will provide the ideal forum to analyse developments in the markets as well as an opportunity to meet industry colleagues. The forum will not only include presentations on specific metal markets, but will also look at more general issues such as China, financing, storage issues etc. The Marriott County Hall is just a 5-minute walk from Waterloo/Eurostar terminal making it easily accessible to companies wishing to attend from mainland Europe.

Speakers include:

"Indium: Supply, Demand, and FPDs", by Brian O’Neill, AIM Indium Materials, USA;

"Developments in the tantalum market", by Judy Wickens, Secretary General, Tantalum Niobium International Study Centre, Belgium;
