Did you miss the first day of this year’s International Mining Investment Conference? Here are some highlights.
The first day of this year’s International Mining Investment Conference (IMIC) is now done, and for the Investing News Network it was a busy one.
There was no shortage of industry experts and company CEOs to talk to, and of course there were presentations and panels to take in as well.
If you weren’t able to make it to the event (or if you simply weren’t able to see everything that was on offer), don’t worry — here’s a quick look at what’s been going on at IMIC.
The first panel of the day featured Brent Cook of Exploration Insights, David Morgan of the Morgan Report, David Erfle of JuniorMinerJunky, Kai Hoffman of Oreninc and Nick Hodge of the Outsider Club. The experts shared their top stock picks from companies at the show.

Peter Schiff of Euro Pacific Capital also gave a presentation at IMIC, discussing the new generation of gold ownership. He also touched on the differences between gold and bitcoin.
#Gold was valuable before it became money and it has many uses, says @PeterSchiff – in contrast, there is no use for #bitcoin other than exchanging it with someone else #IMIC18

Another presentation focusing on gold featured Mercenary Geologist Mickey Fulp, who explored whether a new breakout in gold will happen any time soon.

Another high point of the day was an energy outlook panel moderated by Jay Roberge and featuring Gianni Kovacevic of CopperBank Resources (CSE:CBK), Simon Moores of Benchmark Mineral Intelligence and Chris Parry of Equity Guru.
Elon Musk said recently he wants to take the #cobalt out of #lithium-ion batteries – but “that can never happen,” says @sdmoores. #Cobalt can never be fully removed #IMIC18
