Overview
Molycop will participate in WMC 2026 to showcase integrated solutions that improve comminution efficiency and overall plant performance. From media selection and wear performance to circuit diagnostics, instrumentation and data‑driven optimisation, our approach helps reduce variability, enhance recovery, and support decarbonisation goals—delivering measurable gains in throughput and specific energy consumption.This year’s Congress places a strong emphasis on accelerating project timelines responsibly, extracting more value from current operations, and embedding trust and technology into every stage of the mining value chain. The plenary agenda and thematic pillars (AI/automation, low‑carbon mining, circularity, nature‑positive outcomes, and social performance) create a practical forum for operators and partners to convert strategy into implementable improvements.
About the Event
The World Mining Congress is a UN‑affiliated, long‑running international platform founded in 1958, administered by a permanent secretariat in Poland and hosted in rotating countries. The 27th edition will be held in Lima on 24–26 June 2026, with programming designed to align the sector around delivering the minerals the world needs—faster and more responsibly—through Technology, Trust and Transformation.
