Among the many prominent leading authorities and subject matter experts who will speak at CTMF 2020 are these key note and guest speakers. 

Peter Grosskopf, CEO of Sprott Inc & Managing Director of Sprott Resource Lending and Douglas B. Groh, Portfolio Manager, Tocqueville Asset Management will discuss the changing equity and mining finance markets and the investing, lending and outlook for capital raising and financing gold projects and companies. They will also speak about the return of public equity investing through actively managed and dedicated funds and risks and opportunities available to precious metals investors. 

Sprott has over 200,000 clients worldwide and manages more than US$9 billion in assets. Recently, the two firms entered into an agreement for Sprott to acquire Tocqueville's gold strategies funds with US$1.7 billion under management. 

Peter Grosskopf is Chief Executive Officer of Sprott Inc. and a Managing Director of Sprott Resource Lending. Peter has more than 30 years of experience in the financial services industry. At Sprott, Peter is responsible for strategy and managing the firm's investment capital and lending business. His career includes a long tenure in investment banking, where he managed many strategic and underwriting transactions for companies in a variety of sectors. Prior to joining Sprott, Mr. Grosskopf was President of Cormark Securities Inc. He has a track record of building and growing successful businesses including Newcrest Capital Inc., as one of its co-founders, which was acquired by the TD Bank Financial Group in 2000. Mr. Grosskopf is a CFA® charterholder and earned an Honors Degree in Business Administration and a Masters of Business Administration from the Richard Ivey School of Business at the University of Western Ontario.       

Douglas B. Groh is a Portfolio Manager at Tocqueville Asset Management L.P. He joined Tocqueville in 2003, where he is a Co-Portfolio Manager of the Tocqueville Gold Fund. Prior to joining Tocqueville, Doug was Director of Investment Research at Grove Capital from 2001 to 2003 and from 1990 to 2001 held investment research and banking positions at J.P.

Mr. Groh earned a B.S. in Geology and Geophysics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a M.A. from the University of Texas at Austin, where he focused on mineral economics.

Also presenting at CTMF 2020 will be Douglas B. Silver, Portfolio Manager at Orion Mine Finance. Doug will speak about The Importance of and How to Optimize Mine Stakeholders’ Concerns in these changing times where society’s and capital markets’ rules of conduct and expectations are continuing to evolve, requiring mineral and mining companies to adapt to the times.

The old adage “We only work for our shareholders” no longer passes the smell test. Today, miners and explorers need consider other options and methods to optimize stakeholders’ concerns in order to obtain and maintain social license. The question is whether this is economically feasible. Doug's talk will review this paradigm shift and how investors and owners are adapting to change.  

Douglas B. Silver is a portfolio manager at Orion Mine Finance, a private-equity fund focused on providing funding to shovel-ready base and precious metal projects. Prior to joining Orion, Douglas served as CEO and Chairman of International Royalty Corporation, a TSX mineral royalty company which he founded in 2003 and sold in 2010.

Quebec's delegation of mining executives and officials returned to CTMF 2019 for the fourth year. Government of Quebec's Mr. Pierre Fitzgibbon, Minister of Economy and Innovation and Minister Responsible for the Lanaudière Region spoke about "What makes operating and investing in Quebec's mineral rich province attractive".

Quebec is widely known as a premiere center of mining excellence endowed with great mineral wealth and human resources - encompassing a productive work force skilled at employing and developing the latest innovative technology and method of operation. Some highlights include:

• In 2017, the mining sector made $ 3.05 billion in investments for Québec.
• The mining sector has nearly 30,000 direct and indirect jobs.
• The supplier and supplier network alone accounts for 3,950 Québec companies.
• Mineral production is diversified: 29 substances exploited (15 metals and 14 non-metallic minerals).
• There are 25 active mines and nearly 26 mining projects.

Pierre Fitzgibbon was born in Montréal. He holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management from École des Hautes Études Commerciales de Montréal (HEC) and is a Quebec Chartered Professional Accountant. Before becoming involved in politics, Mr. Fitzgibbon served as managing partner at Walter Capital Partners, a private Equity Firm, between 2015 and 2018. From 2007 to 2014, Mr. Fitzgibbon assumed the role of president and chief executive officer at Atrium Innovations, a company that develops, manufactures and markets value added products for the health and nutrition industry.

Previously, Mr. Fitzgibbon also held executive positions in finance, as well as in company and business development at Télésystème Mobiles International, Chase Capital Partners Hong Kong, Domtar and Peerless Carpet Corporation. He began his career at PricewaterhouseCoopers in auditing and consulting services. Over the last few years, Mr. Fitzgibbon has served on several boards of directors, including that of Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, WSP, Héroux-Devtek, TC Transcontinental, Cycle Capital Management, Neptune Technologies, Lumenpulse and Arianne Phosphate.
