CIM MES Montréal is pleased to present:
Tayfun Eldem
CEO & Director
Alderon Iron Ore Corp.
who will deliver a presentation on:
From Discovery to Production
Abstract: Despite the typical volatility and 2008-2009’s global financial crisis, iron ore has exhibited a remarkable run in the last decade and a half prompting it to come into focus with many investors. The commodity catapulted from “ordinary” to “sought-after” status thanks to China’s urbanization and insatiable appetite for the steel-making ingredient. This shift in the market fueled many new projects and expansions by the iron ore miners eventually bringing the supply and demand into balance.
However, after a decade and a half of attention, how well is the commodity understood? What does it take to develop Canadian projects? Where do Canadian iron ores fit in the vast global market and how do the producers and project proponents differentiate themselves in a crowded space? Tayfun Eldem’s presentation will explore these themes and offer insights into the iron ore market.
