With a positive outlook for global commodities, a refocus on exploration and development opportunities, and changing investor and financier sentiment, IMARC’s 2018 program will provide high level market insights into opportunities, challenges and latest developments within exploration, investment and financing of global projects.
Spread across three days of the IMARC agenda, miners, explorers, investors and the finance community will come together within this Stream to discuss macro commodity topics that are influencing micro decision making, financial lessons learnt from the past five years, whilst also having the opportunity to listen to the value proposition of juniors actively seeking investors.
Key sessions for 2018 you won’t want to miss include:
- The macro picture: What are the five commodities that will become more important over the next five years, and why
- The growing demand for new battery metals; but why are they so hard to market and sell?
- Precious metals vs cryptocurrencies: Has this fight for investment directly and indirectly affected the mining industry
- Increased M&A activity within the mining and resources sector: What can we expect over the next 12 – 18 months, and what impact will this have on industry?
- Highlighting key global exploration opportunities, trends and a perspective on the cycle of mineral exploration
- How are mining companies freeing up exploration and development budgets to exploit new reserves, or engaging in acquisitions to feed their exploration pipeline
- The ultimate checklist for juniors – what makes a good story, how to position your value proposition, what investors are looking for, how to reduce your risk profile?
- When you’re a mid-tier miner and everything is a critical asset; top five lessons learned
- Junior miners as the incubators of the industry – but what challenges do they face?
Also, after the positive initial response from last year’s investment battles, IMARC is pleased to bring back into the program its fast-paced and engaging pitching competition; showcasing a range of mining projects, new technologies and clean technologies who are currently seeking investment.
