EVENT GUIDE | MAY 25 - 26 | 2022 GLOBAL MINING SYMPOSIUM
Presented by The Northern Miner
https://events.northernminer.com/
Welcome to Q2 Global Mining Symposium Welcome back to all of our loyal subscribers and our investor audience... and for those of you that are discovering TNM’s Global Mining Symposium for the first time, we hope that you will tune in to see what has made this a unique event over the last three years. We started our events journey back in 2017, by bringing the best of Canadian mining and exploration companies to the heart of London, U.K., to present and meet with the London investment community. Covid interrupted the run of three Symposiums in London but it had the benefit of opening the doors to the world, and now thousands of you from over 100 countries are regularly attending our virtual quarterly Symposiums. We thank you for that support — and stay tuned for an upcoming announcement around our return to physical events. We’re coming back in a big way! Despite the recent market pull-back, both the need for metals in a sustainable future and the potential for a long bout with inflation will continue to make the mining and metals sector the place for investors for many years ahead. The Northern Miner team has assembled a world class group of leaders to bring you more understanding around what a changing world order can mean to the mining and metals space. We offer a heartfelt thanks to the industry leaders that support this endeavour by continuing to dedicate their time to join us and share their outlooks. The Q2 edition will bring you a roster headlined by industry leaders including Maureen
Jensen, Former Chair & CEO, Ontario Securities Commission; Premier Sandy Silver of the Yukon; Jody Kuzenko, President and CEO of Torex Gold; and Duncan Wood, with an in-depth look at critical minerals. Guiding the conversation will be our cast of leading journalists, whose expertise lets them ask all the right questions. But if they don’t cover something you need to know, no worries — you, the delegate, can ask because as always, the Global Mining Symposium is fully live, unlike most other virtual events. 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 advance some of the industry’s best projects and share their take on innovative technologies that will help them drive value. We look forward to hosting our engaged audience and responding to your excellent questions and comments for our team and for our guests. Best Regards
Anthony Vaccaro
President, The Northern Miner Group

FEATURED SPEAKERS Maureen Jensen • Former Chair and CEO, Ontario Securities Commission
Born in Winnipeg, Jensen grew up in mining towns, learned the values of hard work and self-reliance and saved to attend the University of Toronto, where she earned a BSc in geology in 1979. She is best known as the first female to head the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC), where she championed policies to improve investor protection and encourage diversity for executives and directors of public companies. Before joining the OSC, Jensen served as SVP, surveillance and compliance at IIROC and President at Market Regulation Services. She also held senior positions at the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX), including Director of Mining Services during the aftermath of the Bre-X scandal. She was a TSX member of the Mining Standards Task Force that laid the groundwork for National Instrument 43-101, which became a globally recognized disclosure standard for mining projects. Jensen’s previous 20-year career in mining enabled her to take a pragmatic science-based approach to solving industry and regulatory challenges. As a longstanding champion of equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) she introduced policies for disclosure of gender diversity on boards and is Chair of the Prosperity Project created to help women stay in the workforce during and after the COVID-19 crisis. Jensen’s contributions to industry causes and associations were purposeful and far-reaching. She played a leadership role in strengthening industry associations, notably the PDAC and CIM. Jensen has received broad public and industry recognition for her many achievements, including induction to the Investment Industry Hall of Fame (2020), The Toronto Life’s 50 most influential people in 2013 and 2014, PDAC’s Distinguished Service Award (2008), CIM’s Robert Elver Mineral Economics (2004) and CIM’s Distinguished Lecturer Award (2000). Maureen will be inducted into the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame this year.

Turning Tesla Investors into Mining Investors
How do we attract new capital to the mining industry? This is a question that has been in the minds of many, especially over the last few years. New technologies are emerging and the demand for mined materials is higher than ever before, but investment and interest in the industry is declining. In order to “turn a Tesla investor into a mining investor”, the mining industry needs to be present in people’s minds in a way that it has never been before. Bringing in a diverse background of people to the mining industry, showing off our roles in technology and communications, and expanding our definition of who a mining investor could be are all ways to do this.
Moderator Emily King is the Founder of Prospector, a new search engine for the mining industry and is CEO of Global Venture Consulting. Emily is also the host of On The Rocks, a podcast discussing mining insights and innovation through a uniquely lighthearted lens with listeners on every continent (except Antarctica). Emily is a geologist with considerable experience in emerging, frontier, and post-conflict markets such as Afghanistan, Libya, Algeria, Tunisia, and Mexico. Emily’s focus is on finding and developing the natural resources our world will need for the future we all want, and doing it the right way. She believes that technology, innovation, and relationships are all equally important to bringing new capital into the mining industry and transforming the role of mining in our world.

Positioning for the Global Transition to Battery Metals How Quebec is preparing to be a global hub for powering the future
Québec, rich in minerals and opportunities Québec, it’s more than 200 000 active mining titles, 22 active mines, 32 mining projects, 2.66G $ in private mining investments and 11.91G $ in shipment value. Québec has significant mining potential that accounts for one-fifth of Canada’s mineral production. The province produces and develops 17 metals and 12 non-metallic commodities, making it the most diverse resource base in Canada. Québec is the 1st Canadian province to adopt a plan for critical and strategic minerals and contributes to supplying these minerals, since it produces nickel, niobium and graphite, and mining projects are underway for lithium, vanadium, rare earths and tantalum. Québec is one of the most attractive mineral jurisdictions in the world with a stable business environment and favourable to investments. We assist companies at all stages in the development of their mining projects. Thanks to hydropower, roughly 99% of our energy is low-cost, stably priced, clean, and renewable and we have a vast infrastructure network including roads, railways, ports and airports. Québec is strategically located north-east of the United States with a year-long maritime access to Ontario and the American Midwest through the St-Laurence Seaway. It is close to major population and industrial centres and has easy access to Europe and Asia thanks to its deep-water ports. Québec also works closely with associations representing the mining sector and with communities that host projects. These communities are natural project partners and work with the Government to develop the mining sector. The Government also promotes the mining sector by outlining the principles of sustainable development and best practices of social acceptability through initiatives such as the ECOLOGO certification.

The global demand for a cleaner, greener future is a goal which Argentina Lithium & Energy Corp. (TSX-V: LIT , OTC:PNXLF, FSE:OAY2) believes it can support through exploration for alternative fuel materials. Lithium batteries have become the front-running rechargeable energy storage medium, particularly for the rapidly growing electric vehicle industry, creating a strong demand forecast for lithium. Argentina comprises a significant portion of the Lithium Triangle, which is home to more than half of the world’s resources of lithium. Argentina Lithium & Energy Corp. is a member of the Grosso Group, a resource management team that pioneered the mineral exploration industry in Argentina and has operated there since 1993. The group has made four exceptional metal deposit discoveries, and it broadened its focus to include alternative fuels in the mid 2000’s. The Grosso Group has been following the lithium battery sector and believes this is the time to expand its efforts in lithium resource development in the highly prospective Argentinean portion of the Lithium Triangle. The Grosso Group leverages its vast network of local, regional and international industry contacts to support the exploration team in their search for quality resource opportunities.

Blue Sky Uranium Corp. (TSX.V: BSK; FSE: MAL2.F; OTC: BKUCF) is one of Argentina’s best-positioned uranium & vanadium exploration companies with more than 4,000 km2 (400,000 ha) of prospective tenements. The Company’s mission is to deliver exceptional returns to shareholders by acquiring, exploring and advancing towards production a portfolio of uranium-vanadium projects, with an emphasis on near-surface deposits with the potential for nearterm low-cost production. The Company follows international best practices in exploration, with a focus on respect for the environment, the communities, and the cultures in all the areas in which we work. Argentina is the largest generator of electricity from nuclear energy in South America. The country is working to further expand their nuclear energy sector with additional power plants, but currently lacks domestic uranium production. Argentina’s desire for security of supply could provide a “guaranteed” first customer for a new domestic supplier. Large scale production could make Argentina a strategic exporter of uranium to the international nuclear energy sector.
