The Critical Minerals Institute (CMI) Summit II
Under Pressure: The CMI Addresses EV 2030 Demands

The Critical Minerals Institute (CMI) Summit II Addresses EV 2030 Demands is being held on Wednesday, June 14 & Thursday, June 15 at the National Club in Toronto. 

“We are now at an inflection point for our society. If we can secure the supplies and the processing capacity for the minerals critical for the technologies we now take for granted in our daily lives, then our nations will flourish and grow. If not, then our standard of living will decline, and those who have the critical minerals and the industrial bases to refine and fabricate them surge ahead of us. Our politicians and policymakers are woefully ignorant of this reality. This is the greatest danger of all to our lifestyle and security.” — Jack Lifton, Co-Founder & Co-Chairman, Critical Minerals Institute

“If batteries are going to replace oil, then we better start thinking BIG like oil producers. Net-zero needs 300 TWh of batteries, loaded with 500 million tonnes of cathode materials, and we won’t get there if we don’t change our wasteful ways. Join us for a provocative discussion with practical solutions.” — Dan Blondal, CEO, Director & Founder, Nano One Materials Corp. (TSX: NANO)
