The region hosts a significant share of the world’s undeveloped and under-developed critical mineral resources, alongside established production, processing capacity, and growing domestic demand. Yet international engagement with Eurasia remains fragmented and episodic, often shaped by limited visibility of local policy frameworks, operating environments, and regional dynamics.
The Eurasia Critical Minerals Organisation (ECMO) is an independent, non-profit membership organisation providing a neutral platform for dialogue, insight, and coordination across Eurasia’s critical minerals ecosystem. ECMO supports constructive engagement between governments, industry participants, financial institutions, and downstream users, helping improve mutual understanding between the region and global stakeholders.
ECMO operates as an independent, non-profit platform focused on dialogue, insight, and coordination, supporting more informed engagement across policy, markets, and industry.
Critical minerals are essential inputs to the technologies and systems that underpin modern economies, including energy transition infrastructure, digital technologies, advanced manufacturing, and defence.
A mineral is considered “critical” where supply is vulnerable to disruption due to factors such as limited substitutability, rapidly growing demand, geographic concentration of supply, under-developed markets, or high price volatility.
Many critical minerals are produced in relatively small volumes, often as by-products of other mining activities, and currently have low recycling rates. This heightens the importance of transparency, coordination, and long-term supply resilience.
