The global race to secure critical minerals enters a pivotal phase as the Critical Minerals Institute (opens in a new tab) (CMI) Summit IV prepares to convene top-tier industry, financial, and policy leaders in downtown Toronto on May 13โ14, 2025. Hosted at the prestigious National Club, 303 Bay Street, the summit brings together stakeholders from across the rare earth elements (REE), battery metals, and clean energy supply chain amid a backdrop of trade disruption, geopolitical realignment, and accelerating demand for decarbonized technologies.
This yearโs event, organized under the theme โSecuring the Critical Mineral Future: Strategy, Capital, and Execution,โ will feature senior mining executives, institutional investors, global strategists, and government officials tasked with reshaping North Americaโs mineral independence agenda.
Event Details:
- Two full days of panels, presentations, and private meetings focused on extraction, processing, recycling, and the capital required to build out Western supply chains.
- Reception on May 13 (5:00โ6:30 PM ET) hosted by ArcStone Securities and Investment Corp, enabling deeper networking among capital markets professionals and mining operators.
- Early morning registration and coffee opens each day at 7:30 AM ET; sessions begin at 8:30 AM.
โThe CMI Summit is more than a conferenceโitโs a strategic assembly of decision-makers,โ said Tracy Weslosky, founder of the Critical Minerals Institute. โFrom rare earth magnet supply chains to institutional capital deployment, this is where the conversation on North American critical mineral security is shaped.โ
The summit comes at a decisive moment. Chinaโs tightening grip on heavy rare earth exports, coupled with mounting U.S. and Canadian policy mandates for EV supply chain localization, has elevated the urgency for coordination between miners, refiners, manufacturers, and financiers.
