B2i Digital to Host Precious Metals & Critical Minerals Hybrid Conference in May 2026

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 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 event opens with a keynote address by Jeff Christian, Managing Partner of CPM Group, titled "The Bullish Outlook For Precious Metals." Following the keynote, public companies will present across 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, offering a comprehensive view of the mining and critical minerals landscape.

The hybrid format combines in-person institutional investor access at the OTC Markets headquarters in Manhattan with a live virtual broadcast, enabling global participation. Structured one-on-one meeting requests are facilitated through the conference platform, allowing investors to engage directly with 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."

Tony Barletta, Managing Partner of The Nuvo Group, highlighted the relevance of the conference for issuers: "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.

To register for the live virtual broadcast, interested parties can access the morning session link at Virtual Investor Conferences Morning Session and the afternoon session at Virtual Investor Conferences Afternoon Session. In-person attendance registration is available via Eventbrite at Precious Metals Critical Minerals Hybrid VIC 2026.
