MINING INVESTMENT FORUM

Taking place in the heart of Canada’s financial markets, the Mining Investment Forum will bring those that manage financial resources together with those that manage natural resources. It will provide the investing public an insight into how professional investors value resource stocks.

The forum will have four sequential segments, focusing on: Base metals, Oil sands, Precious metals and Diamonds. These sessions will include a panel discussion featuring leading Canadian portfolio managers, equity analysts, and mining industry executives, followed by a selected group of corporate presentations. Delegates attending the Mining Rocks! conference and the general public will have a unique opportunity to understand how professional analysts and portfolio managers differentiate their valuations of mining companies and commodities.

The Mining Investment Forum is the cornerstone of the Mining in Society Show, being held in conjunction with Mining Rocks! Canada’s Premier Mining Industry Conference and Exhibition.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from Jonathan Goodman, president and CEO, Dundee Precious Metals Inc.!

The straight talk on diamonds
