This Forum provides an invaluable networking and knowledge acquisition opportunity on the latest issues, trends, developments and outlook for China’s refractory minerals and their market demand domestically and worldwide.
Whether supplying, processing, trading, shipping or buying and using Chinese refractory minerals, this Forum will be a vital hub for your business.
We also offer an exclusive visit to Haimag – Haicheng Magnesite Group, one of China’s leading integrated magnesia producers located in the heart of Liaoning’s primary magnesia production district at Pailou Town, Haicheng City (more details).
