Meet Our Featured Speakers

The global shift toward electrification and green energy is driving a sharp rise in demand for battery minerals, particularly lithium. As countries and industries pursue sustainable energy goals, the role of lithium mining has become increasingly vital. The EV battery industry, which is central to this transition, is expanding rapidly, driven by technological innovation, evolving market dynamics, and policy-led initiatives. The Battery Minerals Australia 2026 will serve as a global platform, bringing together key stakeholders across the lithium mining and EV battery supply chain, including upstream explorers, battery manufacturers, investors, policymakers, and industry leaders.

Scaling Up Lithium Mining and Processing Capabilities

A key driver in meeting the rising demand for EV batteries is the expansion and optimisation of lithium extraction and refining operations. Increased investment in innovative mining techniques allows companies to streamline operations, improve efficiency, and boost productivity while minimising environmental impact. Emerging technologies in direct lithium extraction (DLE) and refining are advancing rapidly, creating opportunities to reduce costs and maximise resource use. The growth of sustainable mining practices, guided by ethical, legal, and regulatory frameworks, is reshaping the EV battery industry's future.

Optimising Processing and Recycling Technologies

Beyond lithium extraction, the processing and recycling of battery minerals are vital to addressing the dual challenges of supply security and environmental sustainability. Advances in refining methods and the integration of recycling technologies are key to maintaining a reliable supply of high-quality, battery-grade lithium. The industry is at a pivotal point, where a technology-driven approach is essential to optimise costs and reduce environmental impact. The Battery Minerals Australia 2026 will spotlight the latest developments in lithium refining, battery recycling, and second-life applications, demonstrating how innovation is shaping the industry's future growth.
