2-3 September 2014Chromite2014Conference

Hyatt Regency, Johannesburg, South Africa

Industrial Minerals and Metal Bulletin Events is delighted to announce that the Chromite Conference will once again be going to Johannesburg and running alongside the South African Ferro-Alloys Conference in September.

This provides an excellent opportunity for anyone involved in the chrome ore markets to get together and share knowledge and experience. Since both the chrome market and South Africa have been having a difficult year, this is perfectly timed to enable you to find out when it is going to improve. At this year’s Chromite Conference, we will look at the key issues facing the industry such as:

How is the weak rand affecting the chrome ore supply chain?What impact are the platinum mine strikes having on the industry – warehouses shutting and logistics companies suffering.

Is there a brighter future on the horizon?The last 12 months have been incredibly difficult for the industry and so it’s important to know where to go next and meet with others in the same situation. The Chromite Conference will give you that opportunity.

Key conference topics:

l Chrome ore market overview, non metallic and ferro-chrome

l How the rand has been and still is impacting on the South African mining industry

l What the platinum miner strikes have meant for the UG2 and consequently chrome markets
