Metals and Mining Events June 2022
The Metals Investor Forum — June 11–12, 2022
About the Metals Investor Forum
The Metals Investor Forum was founded with two main principles: Selectivity and Quality.
The Metals Investor Forum offers an opportunity for investors to meet with management teams of some of the mining industry’s leading firms. The exhibitor lineup is hand-selected to ensure the high quality of the content and value. All presenters, exhibitors, and attendees are carefully chosen by The Metals Investor Forum newsletter authors, who assess the management of prospective companies, their project, commodity, jurisdiction, and financials to guarantee that investors receive expert advice and meet with only the best companies in the industry.
The first criterion on the list, strong management, is emphasized by all newsletter writers as critical to the success of a junior mining firm. A benefit of attending the Metals Investor Forum is the opportunity to meet face-to-face with mining’s top management to ask relevant questions about the outlook of their projects.
