2025 Mining Conference:
Mining & Supplying Critical Minerals & Precious Metals
January 16th at 9:00 AM ET
Presented by Maxim Group Hosted on M-Vest
Tate Sullivan, Senior Research Analyst at Maxim Group, hosts virtual conversations with companies to identify future trends in mining and supplying critical minerals and precious metals. We believe the U.S. presidential inauguration on January 20th will start changes in how mining & processing companies supply critical minerals to different countries, including China and the U.S. Also, mining and royalty companies can comment on changes in demand in 2025 for critical minerals and precious metals. Separately, the U.S. Geological Survey included 50 critical minerals on its final list for 2022. The U.S. Department of Energy included 18 critical materials on its final list for 2023. We expect both of these lists to change in the next four years. To attend, just sign up to become an M-Vest member and stay tuned for more updates, including participating companies and panel topics.

Austin Gold Corp (AUST)
Serial company builders working with serial mine finders.
The foundation of any company is its people. The Austin Gold team has been instrumental in building several mining successes in the past, including Pretium Resources (“PVG”), Silver Standard Resources (now SSR Mining (“SSRM”)), and Uranerz Energy (acquired by Energy Fuels (“UUUU”)). Each of those mining companies achieved billion-dollar-plus market capitalizations.
The team also includes two geologists who are serial mine-finders; they have discovered over one billion ounces of silver and over ten million ounces of gold so far in their careers. Three of their discoveries are currently in production, one is in development, and another is undergoing an advanced evaluation.
Our people are the difference.

Contango Ore, Inc. (CTGO)
Contango ORE, Inc. (NYSE-A: CTGO) owns a 30% interest in the high grade Manh Choh open pit gold mine located in Alaska and partnership with a subsidiary of Kinross Gold Corporation - The Peak Gold, LLC (Kinross 70% and Contango 30% with Kinross as Manager and Operator). Ore from Manh Choh will be transported along State maintained highways and then processed at Kinross' existing Fort Knox mill complex located near Fairbanks, Alaska. The use of the Fort Knox mill has accelerated the development of the project and resulted in significantly reduced upfront capital development costs, a smaller environmental footprint, a shorter permitting and development timeline, and less overall risk for the project.
Peak Gold LLC has had a mining lease since 2008 on 675,000 acres of private lands owned by the Tetlin Tribe and administered by the Tetlin Tribal Council. The Manh Choh project has received all Federal and State permits and mining operations are underway and ore is currently being stockpiled at the Mahn Choh site and transported by highway ore haul trucks to a stockpile area at the Fort Knox mill complex. Peak Gold LLC expects to build a roughly 250,000 ton stockpile and then start processing the stockpiled ore later in 2024. Annual gold production is expected to be 225,000 ounces per year with 30% or approximately 67,500 ounces credited to Contango’s account. According to the Feasibility Study Technical Report, All-In Sustaining Costs (AISC) are expected be of $1116/GEO (Gold Equivalent Ounce).
Cotec Holdings (TSXV CTH)
CoTec is an ESG-focused company that seeks to become a mid-tier challenger to the incumbent resource producers through investment in and deployment of innovative technologies that fundamentally change the way metals and minerals can be extracted and processed. We’re committed to supporting the transition to a lower carbon future for the extraction industry, a sector on the cusp of a green revolution as it embraces technology and innovation. CoTec is a publicly traded mining issuer listed on the Toronto Venture Stock Exchange and OTCQB and trades under the symbol CTH and CTHCF respectively and is currently focused on the operational roll-out of three projects, two in which it owns more than 60% direct and indirect equity interest.
CoTec’s focus is on minerals critical to Western supply chain independence and includes, copper, rare earth minerals and green steel. Once fully rolled-out, the HyProMag USA rare earth recycling project has the potential to supply up to 10% of the US permanent magnet demand over the medium to long term, whilst its iron ore Lac Jeannine project in Quebec and the MagIron project in Minnesota has the potential to be operational for 20 years. The technical reports completed on the HyProMag USA and Lac Jeannine projects also indicate potential value equal to multiples of the current CoTec market capitalization. As part of the growth pipe line CoTec is pursuing further asset opportunities in its other disruptive technologies in Green Iron (BSL) and Copper (Ceibo).
Climate change and the need to reduce carbon emissions is driving adaptation as the industry seeks the technologies that will help them meet their environmental goals. Demand for green technologies is expected to explode as the resource industry seeks cleaner, more efficient ways to extract and process metals and minerals.
Investment is expected to follow suit, with funding to be deployed from green funds, mining majors and special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs). With the rapid deployment of new technology, harvesting of commodities that had previously been considered uneconomic, including material contained within stockpiles, dumps and heaps may be possible. Technologies may also be applicable to improving the economics and scale of recycling opportunities.
Due to lower costs and carbon footprints for which green credits will be available, these new technologies will transform marginal primary commodity deposits into higher margin, commercially viable businesses. At CoTec, we’re ready to support the revolution by investing in technologies that could make a difference and applying those technologies to operational opportunities.
CoTec will invest in, license and own technologies that will be transformative, disruptive and will result in much lower carbon footprints than existing processes for extracting, refining and processing metals and minerals. A major focus will be on re-treating and processing existing waste and recycling scrap to produce critical minerals rapidly to create a cleaner circular economy. Our technology investments will be scalable, add value, be disruptive and will be applied to operations co-owned by CoTec to transform the Company to a mid-tier resource producer of choice.

The Metals Company (TMC)
The Metals Company is developing the world’s largest estimated source of battery metals, with enough nickel, copper, cobalt and manganese to electrify the entire U.S. passenger vehicle fleet.
Our aim is to supply the low-impact metals necessary to store clean energy and power electric vehicles, and to in turn create a closed-loop system—a world where metals are not mined and dumped, but rented and returned. If we use these metals to make electric car batteries—as well as for renewable energy storage, wind turbines and solar panels-we can dramatically reduce environmental and social impacts for the whole planet. Our plan is simple and attainable: supply the necessary metals with the least possible impact, building enough metal stock to stop extracting from the planet and enabling society to live off recycled metals.
The Metals Company was formed through the merger of DeepGreen Metals Inc. with the Sustainable Opportunities Acquisition Corporation.
