The Philippine Resources Journal is inviting the Philippine resources and steel community to the SMM Ferrous Metals Summit 2026, scheduled for November 26-27 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The event aims to connect upstream mineral potential with ASEAN's evolving steelmaking landscape, bringing together miners, resource companies, mills and buyers in a single forum. The Philippines produced approximately 1.8 million tonnes of crude steel in 2025 while importing 8.7 million tonnes of steel products, according to event organisers.
This significant import-export imbalance underscores the critical importance of import security for the Philippine steel sector while simultaneously strengthening the investment case for expanded domestic steelmaking capacity, EAF technology deployment and raw-material supply chain development. The summit will convene 400+ delegates, 50+ speakers and 20+ exhibitors representing 30+ countries and regions. The agenda will focus on iron ore, scrap, EAF technology, pricing and ASEAN trade flows, creating a platform for discussing the Philippines' upstream resource contribution to regional steel production.
