Please note, the China Mining Symposium is cancelled.

This is partly due to the success of Mines and Money Beijing – we have found that participation in both events is impractical for most, so our decision is therefore to focus on Mines and Money in Beijing and to ensure that the high standards and qaulity expected from Aspermont events are maintained.

If you have any queries, please contact Lisa Huggins at lisa.huggins@aspermontuk.com or on +44 (0) 20 7216 6080.
