The CMI Summit V—“The New Critical Minerals Economy”—returns to Toronto on May 13-14, 2026 for two intense days of keynote addresses, deep-dive presentations, interactive panels, and candid Q&As, capped by a networking wine reception on Day 1. Delegates will dissect how defense budgets, national security mandates, and industrial-policy incentives are reshaping capital flows into tungsten, rare earth elements, uranium, and other critical minerals. Sessions will spotlight deal structures that marry public funding with private risk capital, breakthroughs in extraction and refining technologies, and case studies in fast-tracked permitting. With government leaders, institutional investors, and mining executives seated at the same table, Summit V promises hard-hitting debate and actionable strategies aimed at building resilient, ethically sourced supply chains that satisfy both government imperatives and shareholder returns.
