About Us
Who We Are
Canada’s Mineral Sector plays a vital role in the economy, supplying critical minerals essential for clean technologies like solar panels, wind turbines, and EV batteries. These resources are key to achieving net zero goals through innovation across sectors. Collaboration, guided by Canada's Critical Minerals Strategy and the Sustainable Critical Minerals Alliance, is crucial to meeting these objectives.
Our Mission
The purpose of the Conference Series is to demonstrate the viability and responsible development of Canada’s Mineral Resources from concept, exploration, development, processing through to end users.

This shall be achieved by developing Canada’s world class resources within a platform of learning, open discussions, interactive engagement, facilitating interaction with a view towards establishing business alliances, accessing capital towards a common goal of connecting the value/supply chain for the benefit of all Canadians.
