Ontario's mining and critical minerals sector is becoming central to energy security, advanced manufacturing, and Canada’s industrial future. For the developers, investors, energy planners, and policy leaders shaping that future, the critical question is no longer whether Ontario's resources matter — it's whether the conditions are in place to move fast enough to compete and win.  

Ontario holds significant reserves of critical minerals and base metals, deep capital markets expertise, established mining and manufacturing ecosystems, and growing strategic importance within global supply chains. But competition is intensifying. Competing jurisdictions around the world are moving aggressively to streamline permitting, accelerate infrastructure delivery, and attract investment.  

This event examines Ontario's mining and critical minerals sector through a broader economic and industrial lens. From project development and capital formation to electricity planning and advanced manufacturing, the discussion will connect the economic and industrial priorities shaping the sector’s next phase of growth.If you're developing a project, structuring a deal,  planning energy infrastructure, or shaping policy, this is the conversation that connects these priorities. 

Discussions will focus on:

Execution at speed: Coordinated permitting, infrastructure planning, Indigenous partnerships, and cross-sector collaboration to accelerate responsible resource development and strengthen investment confidence. 

Capital at scale: Mobilizing institutional and private capital through modern financing structures, public-private partnerships, offtake agreements, and blended finance tools to support large-scale mining and infrastructure projects. 

Powering growth: Aligning mining development with electricity system planning, transmission expansion, nuclear energy, natural gas, and hydrogen to build the energy infrastructure required for long-term industrial growth. 

From extraction to value: Expanding Ontario's role into processing, refining, advanced materials, and manufacturing, with direct links to steel, batteries, automotive, and clean technology supply chains.

Attend if you're...

  • A mining, critical minerals, or resource sector leader involved in project development, operations, infrastructure, processing, or supply chain coordination, navigating evolving market, regulatory, and investment conditions. 
  • An investor, lender, or capital markets participant seeking insights into mining finance, industrial growth, infrastructure investment, and Ontario's long-term economic competitiveness, including pension funds and global institutional investors. 
  • A government, Indigenous, or policy leader focused on permitting modernization, infrastructure coordination, energy planning, economic development, and resource sector partnerships that deliver long-term value. 
  • An energy, manufacturing, or industrial company navigating the growing intersection between mining, electricity systems, advanced manufacturing, and domestic supply chains. 

Ontario’s next phase of industrial growth will depend on how quickly capital, policy, infrastructure, and resource development can move together. This event brings those conversations into one room.
