By bringing together nations from Central Asia, as well as partners from Europe, North America, Asia, and the Middle East, the forum facilitates a collaborative environment where innovation and integration converge.


Central Asia’s Geological Potential on the Global Stage

Central Asia is home to vast, underexplored mineral wealth. Countries such as Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan possess abundant reserves of gold, uranium, rare earth elements, and other strategic metals. Historically overshadowed by larger global producers, these nations are now positioning themselves as key contributors to the emerging green economy.

The global push toward clean energy, electrification, and digital infrastructure has dramatically increased the demand for critical raw materials. Central Asia, with its untapped deposits and strategic location between Europe and Asia, is becoming an essential part of the conversation around sustainable sourcing and resilient supply chains.

   Advancing technological innovation in mineral extraction and processing

   Investment models for sustainable infrastructure development

   Environmental and social governance (ESG) in mining operations

   Legal frameworks and regional harmonization for foreign investment

These conversations are essential for placing Central Asia at the heart of the global critical mineral security strategy.


Promoting Sustainable Development and Environmental Responsibility

Sustainability is not just a theme—it is the guiding principle of MINEX Central Asia. The conference promotes responsible mining practices, emphasizing the need for transparency, social inclusion, and environmental stewardship across the entire value chain.

Key sustainability goals of the forum include:

   Reducing the environmental footprint of extraction processes

   Encouraging renewable energy use in mining operations

   Enhancing water and waste management technologies

   Protecting biodiversity and promoting land rehabilitation

   Fostering inclusive community engagement

By prioritizing these goals, the forum encourages companies to align with global ESG standards while supporting local development and regional cooperation.


Uzbekistan as a Strategic Host: Leading Regional Transformation

Hosting the forum in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, underscores the country’s ambition to lead in regional mineral development. Over the past decade, Uzbekistan has undertaken significant reforms to modernize its mining laws, attract foreign investment, and develop infrastructure that supports the growth of its resource economy.

With government support and a growing international presence, Uzbekistan is:

   Expanding its geological exploration programs

   Partnering with global mining firms and investors

   Investing in downstream processing capabilities

   Advocating for greater transparency and data sharing

Opportunities for participants include:

   Presenting new technologies in sustainable mining

   Learning from regional case studies and global best practices

   Networking with policymakers, industry leaders, and academics

   Discussing shared goals around digital transformation and decarbonization

This open exchange of ideas ensures that the forum remains forward-looking and impactful.


Forging the Future of Mineral Sustainability in Central Asia
