The Golden Thread – Precious Metals as a Catalyst for Critical Projects

While the focus is often on lithium and cobalt, traditional commodities like gold and copper remain the financial backbone of the industry. This discussion explores how precious metal by-products can de-risk and bankroll complex critical raw material projects. Speakers will analyse how "multimetal" projects in Ireland, Scandinavia, and Iberia provide the economic stability needed to attract long-term institutional investment in an era of volatile commodity prices.
