As global demand for energy transition metals accelerates, the price of gold escalating, and capital markets refocus on strategic resource investment, THE Mining Investment Event is back for 2025—bigger, bolder, and more critical than ever. Canada’s only Tier I global mining investment conference, THE Event is held annually in Québec City and sets a new benchmark for curated, high-level engagement between mining companies, investors, and government.
⏰ MEETING CALENDAR OPENS: MAY 14, 2025, AT 9:00 AM EASTERN TIME
This is when the real action begins. The 1-on-1 meeting calendar officially opens Tuesday, May 14 at 9:00 AM ET, unlocking investor access to over 100 participating mining companies. These exclusive, pre-scheduled meetings are the core of THE Event’s high-impact format—and spots are expected to fill quickly.
“THE Event is about curated quality – quality of companies, quality of investors, and quality networking,” says Joanne Jobin, CEO of THE Event. “Given the incredibly competitive conference market, I can say from first-hand experience that building a new conference from the ground up with 150% growth in three years has been a journey. Our success came from our core mission, which was to provide a quality experience and put investors and issuers first. We’ve built this conference with intention. Every element—from the companies selected, to the investors invited, to the structure of the 1-on-1 meetings—is designed to foster strategic dialogue, meaningful partnerships, and long-term value creation for the mining community. It’s not about volume, it’s about impact. Our setting in Québec City allows for high-level engagement in an intimate environment that encourages trust, focus, and results.”
About THE Event:
Hosted in the Centre des Congrès de Québec, a top-tier urban meeting space, THE Mining Investment Event is invitation-only and independently sponsored by over 50 sponsors including the Government of Québec, major financial institutions, and leaders from across the global mining sector. The conference is not open to the public, ensuring a Tier I caliber of attendees and conversations.
THE Event is specifically designed to facilitate privately arranged meetings between mining companies, international investors, and various governmental authorities. Its unique structure, high-level access, and boutique feel set it apart from large-scale trade shows and crowded expos.
