This year, the Cobalt Conference Powering the Green Economy will look at the role of cobalt in powering the Green Economy and ensuring a sustainable future. The Conference will focus on four themes: the cobalt market, cobalt as a global resource, the just transition, and the circular economy.

Mr. Smith will participate in the Session 2 panel entitled "Cobalt as a Global Resource. It will be preceded with by an introductory statement by Kim Shedd, Mineral Commodity Specialist, United States Geological Survey. The session will look at the global nature of the Cobalt Market with a particular focus of the geographic diversity of reserves and supply.

Other panelists include:

Robert Ellenwood, President, New Providence Metals Marketing

Joe Kaderavek, CEO, Cobalt Blue

Michael Hollomon, Commercial Director, US Strategic Metals

Caspar Rawles, Chief Data Officer, Benchmark Mineral Intelligence

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 cobalt sector focusing on the fundamental changes impacting the battery metals market. During the panel discussion he intends to emphasize how Canada, and North America as a whole, can play a crucial role, through companies like Global Energy Metals, in identifying strategic 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.
