For its Wednesday, January 25, 2023 Discussion Group seminar, CIM’s Management and Economics Society (MES), as part of its quarterly Perspectives & Insights on Metals and Mines series, is pleased to welcome:
Alex Griffiths
Principal Analyst, Wood Mackenzie
who will deliver an online “doubleheader” presentation on:
What Should We Look For in Key Metals Markets in 2023?
and
The Energy Transition Starts and Ends With Metals – An Update
Abstract: The outlook for the base metals and ferrous sector of the industry will be reviewed for 2023 with the long term in perspective. The longer-term analysis of metals supply portrays that the industry cannot meet the demand in a net-zero world. But electrification is a given and to generate, transmit, store or use electricity we are going to need an unbelievably large amount of metals. We are bearish on the world’s ability to meet the goals of the Paris climate agreements, but in our efforts to do so, the outlook for metals prices is bullish. So why isn’t investment furiously flowing into this space? What are the short-term challenges deterring investment?

About CIM MES’ Mineral Economics Discussion Group:
Since the mid-1980s, meetings of the Mineral Economics Discussion Group have taken place approximately once per month in Toronto between September and April. A regular program of meetings has taken place in Vancouver since 2015 and in Montreal since 2017. Speakers have addressed almost every aspect of the minerals industry except for strictly technical topics in geology, mining, and metallurgical engineering. A collegial, seminar-style atmosphere is fostered in order to allow lively discussion and exchange of ideas, with opportunities to network and socialize at live events. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, a full program has been maintained in a webinar format that better serves all our CIM and CIM MES members and guests throughout Canada and internationally.
