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, with a simultaneous live broadcast to a global investor audience. The hybrid event 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 conference will open with a keynote address titled "The Bullish Outlook For Precious Metals" by Jeff Christian, Managing Partner of CPM Group. Following the keynote, a curated lineup of public companies will present across a range of commodities including gold, silver, copper, nickel, cobalt, lithium, rare earths, titanium, and phosphate. The presenters span senior producers, mid-tier developers, and exploration-stage issuers, providing a comprehensive view of the mining sector.
The hybrid format combines in-person institutional investor access in Manhattan with a live virtual broadcast, allowing global participation. Structured 1x1 meeting requests can be scheduled through the conference platform, facilitating direct engagement between investors and management teams. David Shapiro, CEO of B2i Digital, emphasized the benefits of the hybrid approach: "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."
The Nuvo Group, a New York-based provider of financial printing, SEC/EDGAR filing, proxy design, and shareholder communications services, joined as co-sponsor. Tony Barletta, Managing Partner of The Nuvo Group, noted the relevance of the event: "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."
The conference schedule includes morning and afternoon sessions. The morning session (9:00 AM to 12:15 PM ET) features the 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 (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.
This event highlights the growing importance of critical minerals and precious metals in the global economy, particularly as demand for resources used in clean energy technologies and electronics continues to rise. The hybrid format ensures broad accessibility, enabling investors worldwide to gain insights into the sector and engage with company management. Registration for the live virtual broadcast is available for both the morning session and afternoon session. In-person attendance can be registered via Eventbrite.
