Join Us for Lunch at the Eden Project – Launch of the Cornwall Mining and Geo-Resources Alliance (CMGA)

📅 Date: 14th March
📍 Location: Eden Project

You're invited to an exclusive networking lunch as we introduce the Cornwall Mining and Geo-Resources Alliance (CMGA). Discover the reasons behind our rebrand and how CMGA will differ from the Cornwall Chamber of Mines and Minerals, which has hosted the CMA since its inception in 2016.

During this event, we will:
✅ Unveil the new organisation and the benefits of membership.
✅ Showcase insights from the Geo-Resources project and where to access key findings.
✅ Share feedback from recent industry canvassing and gather your input on strengthening Cornwall’s position in global mining and geothermal industries.
✅ Hear success stories from businesses that have leveraged Geo-Resources funding to enter new markets and attract customers.

This is a fantastic opportunity to network with industry peers, shape the future of CMGA, and ensure it delivers the support and representation your business needs.

We look forward to seeing you there!
