During this visit, MMR and SMM engaged in in-depth discussions on the current status of the strategic minor metal industry and cross-border supply chain cooperation. MMR has been deeply engaged in compliant mining of critical minerals for over 15 years, with a strategic focus on three major strategic minerals: tin, tantalum, and tungsten. The company holds multiple mining licenses in mineral-rich regions of the DRC, with concentrated resource deployment and excellent endowment. The enterprise strictly adheres to compliant mining, full-process traceability, and international operational standards, ensuring long-term stable and compliant mine operations.
SMM boasts long-standing expertise in non-ferrous and rare metals, with core coverage encompassing market pricing, industrial research and in-depth market analysis, delivering comprehensive empowerment for global mineral trade and integrated industrial chain services. Drawing on their respective business strengths, the two sides shared practical insights regarding overseas mineral resource development, compliance framework establishment, raw material circulation coordination and industry development trends, laying a solid foundation for future industrial cooperation and resource synergy.
Introduction to Mining Mineral Resources (MMR)
Africa Critical Minerals Forum 2026
SMM is also thrilled to announce that the Africa Critical Minerals Forum 2026 is scheduled to be held on September 15–16, 2026 in Lusaka, Zambia. The conference will bring together industry leaders, investors, policymakers, and technology providers from across the globe to explore the future of copper, cobalt and Tin—key drivers of the global energy transition. With Zambia home to some of the world's most significant copper and cobalt resources, and with Africa holding crucial tin reserves—particularly in the Central African Tin Belt spanning the DRC and Rwanda—this summit offers a unique platform to discuss cutting-edge mining technologies, sustainable practices, investment opportunities, and supply chain strategies. Attendees will engage in high-level dialogues on topics ranging from ESG compliance and renewable energy integration to logistics optimization and community-driven development.
We look forward to your joining us at the Africa Critical Minerals Forum 2026 and jointly shaping the future of Africa’s critical minerals industry.
