Maxim Group LLC to Host the "2025 Mining Conference: Mining & Supplying Critical Minerals & Precious Metals" on Thursday, January 16th at 9:00 a.m. E.T.

Maxim Group LLC, a full-service investment banking, securities and wealth management firm, and M-Vest, a digital community built for issuers, investors, and thought leaders, present the "2025 Mining Conference: Mining & Supplying Critical Minerals & Precious Metals", hosted virtually at m-vest.com on Thursday, January16 th 2024, at 9:00 a.m. E.T.

Tate Sullivan, Senior Research Analyst at Maxim Group, will host virtual conversations with companies to identify future trends in mining and supplying critical minerals and precious metals. We believe the U.S. presidential inauguration on January 20th will start changes in how mining & processing companies supply critical minerals to different countries, including China and the U.S. Also, mining and royalty companies can comment on changes in demand in 2025 for critical minerals and precious metals. Separately, the U.S. Geological Survey included 50 critical minerals on its final list for 2022. The U.S. Department of Energy included 18 critical materials on its final list for 2023. We expect both of these lists to change in the next four years.
