Kislotoupor company took an active part in the 5th International Mining and Exploration Forum MINEX EUROPE, which brought together leading representatives of the mining industry from across Europe and Central Asia. The forum is traditionally one of the most important platforms for discussing investment opportunities in the extractive industry, exchanging experiences, and establishing business contacts between companies, investors, and government regulators. The Kislotoupor delegation, led by the company's management, presented several investment projects that attracted significant interest among participants.

The theme of MINEX EUROPE 2020 focused on key challenges and opportunities for investments in the extractive industry of Europe and Central Asia. The main discussion panels covered issues of geological exploration of new deposits, implementation of innovative extraction technologies, ensuring environmental responsibility of mining operations, and regulatory reforms in various countries of the region. Particular attention was paid to the topic of critical raw materials for European industry -- rare earths, lithium, graphite, and other strategic minerals, the demand for which is rapidly growing in the context of the "green" transition and the development of electric mobility.

The presentation of Ukrainian deposit opportunities became one of the key moments of Kislotoupor's participation in the forum. The company presented detailed information about white-burning clay deposits in the Donetsk region and gypsum stone deposits in the Lviv region, prepared in accordance with international reporting standards. Special emphasis was placed on the unique characteristics of the raw materials: Ukrainian white-burning clay, in terms of its quality indicators, is comparable to the best world analogues from Great Britain and the Czech Republic, and the gypsum stone is distinguished by exceptionally high purity. The presentation included geological data, results of technical and economic evaluation, logistical advantages, and market analysis.

Meetings with potential investors and partners on the sidelines of the forum proved extremely productive. Kislotoupor representatives conducted over 20 bilateral meetings with companies from Great Britain, Canada, Turkey, Poland, Kazakhstan, and other countries. Among potential partners were both large international mining corporations interested in expanding their asset portfolios, and specialized investment funds seeking promising projects at early development stages. Turkish companies showed particular interest, for whom Ukrainian white-burning clay is an attractive raw material for the ceramic industry.

The results of participation in MINEX EUROPE 2020 exceeded the Kislotoupor team's expectations. Following the forum, several memorandums of understanding were signed with potential partners, negotiations on creating joint ventures and attracting project financing were initiated. Additionally, the company received invitations to participate in several subsequent international events, indicating growing international community interest in Ukraine's mineral resource potential. The experience of participating in MINEX EUROPE confirmed that a systematic presence at key industry events is a necessary condition for successfully attracting foreign investments and positioning Ukraine as a reliable partner in the global mining market.
