Russia’s Premier International Exhibition for Mining Equipment and Technologies
As the global mining industry undergoes profound technological transformation and Russia’s mineral extraction sector continues its strategic expansion, one event emerges as the definitive platform for this critical industry. From May 26 to 29, 2026, Moscow will host the premiere of the International Trade Fair for Mining Equipment and Technologies “MINING CTT” at the Crocus Expo International Exhibition Centre—a landmark new exhibition created in direct response to growing market demand.
A New Format, A New Level of Industry Power
MINING CTT represents a significant evolution in Russia’s mining exhibition landscape. Born from the successful 25-year legacy of CTT Expo, Russia’s flagship construction equipment exhibition, this new specialized event recognizes the mining sector’s emergence as a distinct and powerful market force.
The decision to launch MINING CTT as a standalone exhibition came from clear market data: annually, over 15,000 specialists attend CTT Expo specifically seeking suppliers, partners, and technologies for the mining industry. This concentrated, targeted audience, combined with growing exhibitor interest in presenting dedicated mining equipment lines, made the logical case for a specialized event.
Anna Shorina, Exhibition Director, explained the strategic vision: “When a segment becomes so large and self-sufficient, it’s logical to give more ‘space and room’ for development. The goal is simple: to improve the quality of contacts, make interaction between manufacturers and buyers as effective as possible, and offer a new promotional tool specifically for the mining industry”.
