Investors focused on raw materials mining and battery materials will have the opportunity to engage with companies in those sectors at The Global Markets Forum (Hybrid), a B2i Digital Featured Conference hosted by Virtual Investor Conferences on October 7 and 8, 2026. The event, announced by NEWMEDIAWIRE, will showcase a diverse lineup of publicly traded companies, with several operating in mining, critical minerals, and battery supply chains.
Day 1 of the forum is hybrid, with management teams presenting in person at the OTC Markets Group office in New York or remotely, while Day 2 is entirely virtual. Among the presenters on October 7 are Kuya Silver Corp., which operates the Bethania silver mine in Peru and is developing district-scale silver projects in Peru, Canada, and Saudi Arabia; First Class Metals plc, a UK-listed mineral exploration company focused on gold and critical metal deposits in Ontario, Canada; and First Phosphate Corp., which is building a vertically integrated, mine-to-market supply chain for lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries in North America, serving energy storage, data centers, robotics, mobility, and national security.
The October 8 virtual session will feature Cobalt Blue Holdings Limited, an Australian critical minerals company advancing the Kwinana Cobalt Refinery in Western Australia—an Australian source of battery-grade cobalt sulphate—and the Broken Hill Cobalt Project in New South Wales; Nouveau Monde Graphite Inc., which is developing a fully integrated ore-to-processed-graphite value chain in Québec, Canada, to supply advanced graphite materials to industries in energy, advanced technology, and manufacturing; and Cerrado Gold Inc., a Toronto-headquartered precious metals and critical minerals producer that owns the Minera Don Nicolás gold mine in Santa Cruz, Argentina, the Lagoa Salgada polymetallic project in Portugal, and the Mont Sorcier iron and vanadium project in Quebec.
These presentations are significant for the mining and battery materials industries because they offer investors a direct line to management teams at a time when supply chains for critical minerals are under increasing scrutiny. The forum provides a platform for companies to articulate their strategies and for investors to ask questions, potentially influencing investment decisions and capital flows into the sector. As the global transition to electric vehicles and renewable energy accelerates, the ability to secure domestic and diversified sources of materials like silver, cobalt, graphite, and lithium iron phosphate becomes paramount. The event also underscores the growing importance of hybrid and virtual investor conferences in connecting companies with a broad audience. According to David Shapiro, Chief Executive Officer of B2i Digital, Inc., “Companies listed in the U.S. and around the world, including Zurich, Madrid, London, Singapore, Sydney and Toronto, come to New York, virtually or in person, for this special hybrid event. The management teams present live, then take your questions. Ask for the in-person or virtual meeting. I say that every time, because face to face is where you learn the most.”
