We are excited to invite you to a special guest lecture at the School of Mining and Geosciences (SMG) by renowned mining economics expert Dr. Juan Ignacio Guzmán.
Lecture Topic: Mineral Prices and the New Tariff Regime
Dr. Guzmán will explore why recent tariffs on metals—such as those implemented during the Trump administration—have driven short-term price increases, and what the medium- and long-term impacts might be on critical mineral markets. This timely presentation will offer essential insights for anyone interested in global markets, resource economics, or public policy.
