March 12, 2025--Written by John Egan for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Exhibitors at last month's mining convention in Denver were more upbeat than they have been in years. The reason for the improved outlook partly came from last November's reelection of Republican Donald Trump as president, according to interviews with exhibitors at the annual MINEXCHANGE convention, sponsored by the Society of Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration (SME) (Englewood, Colorado). The event took place February 24-26.

"This is the third consecutive MINEXCHANGE event I have attended, and the mood this year was totally different--it was much more optimistic," said Sara Lowery Ng, a senior account executive with Industrial Info.
