Q1 2023 Global Mining Symposium | Virtual Event Guide

Q1 Edition of GMS to Tackle Big Themes of the Day

The Q1 edition of the Global Mining Symposium is upon us and you already know what you need to do about it: Get registered and tune in so that you can shake off the winter frost and get up to speed with where our industry is heading during these volatile times.

GMS has established itself as the go-to virtual event in the mining and metals industry thanks to our rare combination of top fl ight speakers and the top fl ight journalists that query them and get the answers to the crucial questions that will inform your investment and business decisions.

But even the best journalists can’t cover every key question that our delegates have, that is why, unlike most other virtual events, we do ours live. Th is means delegates get to interact with speakers in real time and can get some surprising off-the-cuff answers to their thoughtful questions. It’s been the secret sauce of the Symposiums and has allowed us to stick out from the crowded space of virtual conferences.

But if you’ve already tuned in, you already know that, and if you haven’t, well now is your chance to get dialed in.

We have a stellar roster of industry leaders to hear from on this edition with the likes of: Cassie Boggs, Chairperson of Hecla Mining; Randy

Smallwood, CEO of Wheaton Precious Metals; and Chairman of the World Gold Council and Luca Giacovazzi, CEO of Wyloo Metals.

And of course, as always, we are bringing you a suite of exciting juniors that are poised to accomplish some big things in the year ahead as they are advancing some of the industry’s best projects, and can share their innovative technologies that will help them drive value in the coming year. On this edition you will find out the latest developments at Canagold, Equity Metals, Namibia Critical Metals, NGExX Minerals, Nicola Mining, Southern Silver Exploration and White Gold Corp.

We look forward to seeing and hearing from you all again on Wednesday, Feb. 22nd.

Best Regards,

Anthony Vaccaro President, The Northern Miner Group
