Capital flows for mining projects converge in London each December. The three-day format at the Business Design Centre, Islington, concentrates investor meetings, company spotlights and targeted networking across commodities.
Event snapshot for Mines and Money London 2026
Mines and Money London 2026 runs from 1 to 3 December 2026 at the Business Design Centre, Islington. The event lists 2,300 attendees, 180 exhibiting mining companies, 390 speakers and delegations from 85 countries according to the programme.
Who attends and what they represent
Exhibitors are mainly exploration and development companies looking to raise capital or secure strategic partners. The investor mix includes institutional resource funds, private equity, family offices and dedicated commodity investors. That mix makes the event a concentrated forum for presenting project economics and technical milestones.
Meeting format and the Connect platform
The event uses a bespoke meeting platform to schedule pre-qualified meetings. Organizers report an average of 22 meetings per attendee over the three days. The format combines exhibitor meetings, networking lounges and Mining Spotlights where select projects present directly to investor panels.
Practical B2B outreach tactics for exhibitors
- Pre-qualify target investors by commodity, project stage and fund type using the platform filters.
- Lock in a core set of high-priority meetings and leave buffer slots for follow-ups and walk-ins.
- Produce a one-page financial summary with capital requirements and milestones; investors expect concise comparables.
- Time any spotlight presentation to 10 minutes with clear technical and financial takeaways and a Q&A plan.
- Have digital collateral ready for instant sharing via the Connect platform and follow up within 24 hours after meetings.
Key numbers to plan around
- Registered attendees 2,300
- Exhibiting mining companies 180
- Speakers 390
- Countries represented 85
