B2i Digital, the Capital Markets Matchmaker, announced the Precious Metals & Critical Minerals Hybrid Conference, scheduled for Thursday, May 21, 2026, at OTC Markets headquarters in Manhattan. The event will also be broadcast live online, according to a press release. Co-sponsored by The Nuvo Group, in collaboration with The Prospector Resource Investment News, Resource World Magazine, and the Society for Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration (SME), the conference underscores the growing importance of these resources in the global economy.
The day will open with a keynote address from Jeff Christian, Managing Partner of CPM Group, titled “The Bullish Outlook For Precious Metals,” followed by presentations from public companies across gold, silver, copper, nickel, cobalt, lithium, rare earths, titanium, and phosphate. The lineup includes senior producers, mid-tier developers, and exploration-stage issuers. This diversity highlights the breadth of opportunities in the sector, from established producers to early-stage explorers.
The hybrid format combines in-person institutional investor access in Manhattan with a live virtual broadcast, supported by structured one-on-one meeting requests through the conference platform. “What I like about a hybrid event is that it doesn’t ask anyone to choose. Investors who can be in Manhattan walk in and meet management face to face. Investors anywhere else in the world get the same content live the same day,” said David Shapiro, CEO of B2i Digital, in the release. This approach democratizes access, allowing retail investors to engage directly with management teams without geographical constraints.
Tony Barletta, Managing Partner of The Nuovo Group, added: “Most of the companies presenting at this conference are exactly the kind of issuers we work with every day, public companies navigating SEC filings, proxy season, and the constant communication demands of the capital markets. Mining and critical minerals is moving fast right now, and giving these management teams a direct line to institutional and retail investors is something we wanted to get behind.” His comments reflect the operational challenges faced by these companies and the value of events that facilitate investor communication.
The morning session, from 9:00 AM to 12:15 PM ET, will feature Jeff Christian’s keynote at 9:00 AM, followed by presentations from Viva Gold Corp., Cygnus Metals Limited, Eloro Resources Ltd., Oreterra Metals Corp., and Metals One plc. The afternoon session, from 12:30 PM to 4:15 PM ET, includes Amaroq Ltd., Midnight Sun Mining Corp., Star Gold Corp., Sirios Resources Inc., Canadian Phosphate Limited, Honey Badger Silver Inc., and Renforth Resources, Inc. These companies represent a cross-section of the mining sector, focusing on metals critical for electric vehicles, renewable energy, and defense technologies.
