About the club
A focal point for mining and commodities professionals in Southeast Asia
Established 2014
The Singapore Mining Club was formed in early 2014 by mining industry professionals who recognised the benefit an active industry association could bring to the further development of Singapore’s growing mining industry.
All companies, large and small and across a wide range of industries, need to focus on the business dynamics of mining: the pioneers, partnerships, capital, transactions, joint ventures and capex that determine the future direction of the industry. Our aim is to provide a platform to help them address those challenges.
The Club connects the mining and commodities ecosystem regionally and globally. Our members come from a wide range of backgrounds and include leaders from mining companies and associated industries: engineers, geologists, accountants, economists and lawyers.
How it works
Events, and more events
We find events are the most effective way to break the ice and make meaningful introductions. So we host networking events and we connect people. We also believe in the need for constant learning.
Whether you’re new to the region, have worked here all your life, or pass through from time to time. Whether you want to meet miners, fund managers or ministers, the Singapore Mining Club is right for you.
