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 be broadcast live simultaneously to a global investor audience, blending in-person access with virtual participation.
The conference is 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 day will begin with a keynote address from Jeff Christian, Managing Partner of CPM Group, titled "The Bullish Outlook For Precious Metals." Following the keynote, public companies will present across a range of sectors including gold, silver, copper, nickel, cobalt, lithium, rare earths, titanium, and phosphate. The lineup spans senior producers, mid-tier developers, and exploration-stage issuers.
David Shapiro, CEO of B2i Digital, emphasized the value of the hybrid format. "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. Adding the in-person layer on top of what VIC already does virtually just gives both audiences a better experience," Shapiro said.
Tony Barletta, Managing Partner of The Nuvo Group, highlighted the relevance of the event for the mining sector. "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," Barletta stated.
The conference schedule includes a morning session from 9:00 AM to 12:15 PM ET, featuring presentations from Viva Gold Corp., Cygnus Metals Limited, Eloro Resources Ltd., Oreterra Metals Corp., and Metals One plc. The afternoon session runs from 12:30 PM to 4:15 PM ET, with presentations from Amaroq Ltd., Midnight Sun Mining Corp., Star Gold Corp., Sirios Resources Inc., Canadian Phosphate Limited, Honey Badger Silver Inc., and Renforth Resources, Inc.
Participants can register for in-person attendance or the live virtual broadcast. For those attending virtually, registration links are available for the morning session and afternoon session. In-person attendance can be registered via Eventbrite. Additionally, investors can schedule 1x1 meetings with management through the conference platform at this link.
This hybrid conference comes at a time when interest in critical minerals and precious metals is surging, driven by global demand for electric vehicle batteries, renewable energy storage, and geopolitical shifts. For industry leaders and investors, the event offers a unique opportunity to gain insights from top analysts like Jeff Christian and directly engage with management teams from a curated selection of mining companies. The ability to participate either in person or virtually lowers barriers to access, potentially broadening the investor base for these issuers.
Throughout the year, Virtual Investor Conferences, an OTC Markets Group Inc. property, feature public companies from exchanges worldwide, including NYSE, Nasdaq, TSX, TSXV, CSE, ASX, LSE, and the OTC Markets. For more details on the conference, visit B2i Digital's conference page.
