Mines and Money

What Mines and Money does

Mines and Money is a London-based international event series and meetings platform focused on connecting mining companies seeking capital with sophisticated global investors. Founded in the early 2000s and operated by Beacon Events, the company runs in-person events in Sydney (co-located with IMARC), London (co-located with Resourcing Tomorrow), and Hong Kong, alongside a year-round virtual Online Connect platform. Its core offering is a curated, vetted networking environment where senior management of explorers, development-stage miners, and producers meet institutional investors, private capital, and strategic partners for deal-making across the mining project lifecycle.

The product stack centers on the proprietary Connect Meeting Platform, which uses an algorithm to recommend pre-qualified mining companies to investors based on declared preferences across commodities, project stages, regions, and stock exchanges, supported by an investor concierge team that schedules meetings. Complementary assets include the Mines and Money TV media platform, which produces video content and industry interviews between events, and partnership/co-location arrangements with anchor conferences IMARC and Resourcing Tomorrow. Reported scale includes 13,000+ attendees, 900+ mining companies, 1,500+ investors, and representation from 140+ countries, with attendees averaging 22 meetings per three-day event.

Mines and Money's revenue model is event-driven: it generates income through exhibition participation fees, tiered event sponsorships, and partnership programs with mining companies and adjacent service providers. Attendance is free for qualified investors, lowering a barrier on the demand side of the network and shifting monetization toward the mining-company and sponsor side. The company is privately held under Beacon Events, has 11-50 employees, and operates across the UK, Australia, Hong Kong, and globally via its online channel.

• Mining Indaba: Mining Indaba is the leading mining investment conference held annually in Cape Town, connecting institutional investors with mining companies across Africa and globally. It is the closest direct competitor to Mines and Money in the mining capital-raisings events category, covering a similar primary task: vetted investor-miner matchmaking at scale.
• PDAC Convention: The Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada hosts the PDAC Convention in Toronto, the largest annual mining investment and exploration event in the Americas.
