Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / September 22, 2022 / Global Energy Metals Corporation TSXV:GEMC | OTC:GBLEF | FSE:5GE1 (“Global Energy Metals”, the “Company” and/or “GEMC”), a company involved in the investment exposure to the battery metals supply chain, is pleased to announce a coveted speaking position at the upcoming Aspermont hosted Future of Mining Americas Conference being held in Denver, Colorado September 26th and 27th.
Mitchell Smith, President & CEO, will join a panel of industry leaders specializing in the minerals and technologies critical to the electrification process on the 45 minute panel session “Meeting the Demand for Sustainable Mining and Critical Minerals with Mining 4.0” taking place on Monday September 26th at 10:10am CST. Participants will hear industry experts speak to the gap between the current demand and faltering supply and how industry and government must support this pivotal movement should the Americas be competitive in the battery supply chain.
The panelists will tackle questions such as:
- How are our companies planning strategically for the heightened demand for renewable energy transition materials such as nickel, cobalt, lithium, green ammonia, heavy rare earth and copper?
- How are they planning on doing this in a carbon-friendly way?
- What part are clean energy technologies playing in their quest for reduced carbon emissions?
- How are they managing the external pressures from stakeholders, including investors, governments and major corporations?
The panel will be moderated by Ash Agarwal, Chief Executive Officer, Symboticware.
In addition to GEMC’s Smith, other panellists include:
- Paramita Das, Global Head of Marketing, Development and ESG Metals and Minerals, Rio Tinto ;
- Theuns Roux, VP Strategy & Procurement, Nutrien; and
- Matthew Curtis, Principal Advisor - Underground Mining Operational Technology & Business Improvement, Newmont
The era-defining shift from fossil fuels to clean energy is set to deliver an unprecedented new boom for commodities, and an opportunity for investors, as a range of critical minerals finally get the attention they deserve due to their essential role in delivering emissions-free power and transport. To meet global climate change targets, demand for minerals and metals, like cobalt, used in green technologies such as rechargeable batteries used in vehicle electrification is expected to rise exponentially, and yet these irreplaceable building blocks enabling the energy transition, are expected to be in short supply, in part due to concentration of production and processing.
But as the global initiative to transition away from many carbon-based forms of energy proceeds, so too does the urgency arise for sustainable sources for critical components that go into these green technologies.
Canada, through collaboration with the United States and other strategic nation partners, has benefit to having the critical mineral reserves, skilled workforce, infrastructure, technology and clean energy necessary to fuel a new lithium ion battery ecosystem.
During the event, Mitchell will represent both Global Energy Metals as well as the Battery Metals Association of Canada, of which he is a Director of, to share an outlook for the battery metals sector focusing on the fundamental changes impacting the sector. During the panel discussion he intends to emphasize how North America as a whole, can play a crucial role, through companies like Global Energy Metals, in identifying strategic, domestic opportunities and be globally competitive in the sector as demand for critical materials grows and the push to regionalize supply chains is prioritized in an effort to meet demand for new energy technologies.
