MiningWeek & MinePro 2026 — Mongolia's Premier International Mining Exhibition & Convention
September 16–18, 2026 · Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
Theme: “Green Future and Global Partnership”
Once a year, the entire mining world of Mongolia — and an ever-growing share of the global industry — gathers in one place. Mongolian MiningWeek & MinePro is the country's largest, highest-level, and most influential mining event: a national exhibition, an international convention, a dealmaking floor, and a cultural celebration, all in three unforgettable days. In 2026, the event returns for its fifth edition — bigger, more international, and more ambitious than ever, spanning 150,000 square meters of exhibition space.

An event backed at the highest level of the state
MiningWeek & MinePro is not a commercial trade fair organized on the sidelines of the industry — it is Mongolia's official national mining platform, co-organized by the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources, the Mineral Resources and Petroleum Authority, and the Mongolian National Mining Association. The Prime Minister of Mongolia, the Deputy Prime Minister, cabinet ministers, members of Parliament, and the heads of regulatory agencies personally attend, speak, and meet with participants. When policy on investment, licensing, and minerals is discussed here, it is discussed by the people who actually write it.
Why it is the biggest mining event in the region
The numbers from the 2025 edition speak for themselves:
- 120,000 m² of exhibition space — expanding to 150,000 m² in 2026, making it the largest mining exhibition in the region;

- 350+ exhibiting organizations from 15+ countries;

Why Mongolia, why now
Mongolia is one of the world's most dynamic and fastest-growing mining markets — a global hub for critical minerals. The country holds world-class reserves of copper, coking coal, gold, uranium, and rare earth elements, anchored by giants such as Oyu Tolgoi and Tavan Tolgoi. Strategically located between two of the world's largest markets, Mongolia is investing heavily in rail and logistics corridors to become a reliable supplier in global critical-mineral supply chains.
Just as importantly, the government is opening the doors wider than ever: a new Foreign Investment Law guaranteeing stability and free repatriation of profits, amendments to the Minerals Law, simplified visa and residency procedures, accelerated digitalization, and reduced bureaucracy. As Mongolia's leadership has put it, the goal is clear — a transparent, stable, investment-ready environment. MiningWeek & MinePro 2026 is where these reforms are presented first-hand, directly to investors and partners.
Three days, three missions: Define. Deploy. Deliver.
Day 1 — Government Day: policy meets capital
State leaders, ministers, and regulators present Mongolia's policy reforms and national vision, and engage directly with investors. Highlights include the global energy transition and the surging demand for critical minerals, responsible and traceable supply chains, and high-level strategic roundtables on the investment climate, business environment, ESG, and regional development.
Day 2 — Industry & Investment Day: where deals are made
The busiest dealmaking day of the year in Mongolian mining: dedicated sessions on project readiness and bankability, resources and ESG standards, innovative financing structures, offtake agreements, joint-venture partnerships, and strategic financing. The Suppliers & Technology Forum puts equipment manufacturers and technology providers face to face with operators, while sessions explore the future of mining equipment — electrification, battery-powered machinery, automation, and decarbonization.
Day 3 — Innovation & Future Engineering Forum: the industry of tomorrow
A full day dedicated to technology, sustainability, and people: live demonstrations of low-carbon technologies, a Sustainability Showcase Zone covering water and waste management, biodiversity, and renewables; hands-on technical workshops and labs; the Empowering Women in Mining track with leadership discussions and mentorship; and the Future Engineers Summit connecting companies with the next generation of talent.

The Miners' Naadam Festival — business meets culture
No other mining event in the world ends like this. On the final day, participants are invited to the legendary Miners' Naadam Festival — a spectacular celebration of Mongolia's “Three Manly Games”: wrestling, horse racing, and archery. Far more than a cultural showcase, the Naadam is where handshakes become friendships and friendships become long-term partnerships. For international guests, it is an experience of Mongolian hospitality and heritage they will never forget.
