Around the world, companies in the metals and mining sector are expanding and changing the way the industry operates. Larger companies are implementing ESG initiatives in their business plans making way for more green and sustainable practices.
These include companies like Lake Resources LLKKF a clean lithium developer that has partnered with Lilac Solutions, a firm backed by Bill Gates’ Breakthrough Energy Fund and M.I.T.’s The Engine fund. Another such company is Pan African Resources PAFRY PAFRF)), who recently partnered with juwi Renewable Energy to build a 9.975 solar photovoltaic plant. The company said that the plant would cut carbon emissions of its Elikhulu tailing treatment plant by more than 26,000 tons in its first year.
Looking at the performance of the market, metals are a historically volatile industry. As of January 29, 2021, the MSCI World Metals and Mining Index — composed of large and mid-cap stocks across 23 Developed Markets countries — is down 0.83% year-to-date. Although, the index rose 31.56% over the last year.
Gabriel Alonso-Mendoza, a Managing Partner at Amvest Capital, believes we are currently at the beginning of a new bull market in the Basic Materials Sector.
“A lot of it has to do with the policy initiatives that are currently in place, which are stimulating the economy and creating demand for certain commodities,” he said.
Additional light on the industry will be shed at Global Metals & Mining Virtual Investor Conference, a Virtual Investor Conference by OTC Markets. The three-day conference starting on Tuesday, February 16, 2021, will include presentations from four companies featured on OTC Markets OTCQX Best 50 list — a list of the top 50 performing companies on the OTCQX market. These companies are Ascot Resources AOTVF, Anaconda Mining Inc. ANXGF, Amex Exploration Inc. AMXEF, and Skeena Resources SKREF.
Executives from 42 metals and mining companies will be discussing the prospects for their company’s mineral deposits, the details surrounding their development plans, and provide updates on recent performance numbers.
The conference will also feature 3 keynote presentations from Terry Heymann, CFO of the World Gold Council, Michael DiRienzo, executive director of The Silver Institute, and Daniel Mamadou, partner at Welsbach Holdings.
