Sri Lanka’s first Mineral Sands Technical Conference exceeded all expectations! It was sold out. We had strong engagement both with government officials, including The Hon. Sunil Handunneththi, Minister of Industry and Entrepreneurship Development, and industry professionals. We were delighted to welcome so many guests to the Capital Metals booth – the interest and expertise on display were a testament to the momentum building across the industry. The conference also paved the way for the formation of a mineral sands association of key players in the sector including Capital Metals. The first of its kind, the association will give the industry a unified voice to promote the mineral sands sector, engage with policymakers, and collectively address the remaining challenges to unlocking Sri Lanka’s mineral sands potential. Thank you to The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce and Mineral Technologies for hosting the landmark event. #MineralSands #SriLanka #CeylonChamber #MineralSandsAssociation #Mining #Ilmenite #Rutile #Zircon #Garnet #Titanium
