Today at the 11th Current Trends in Mining Finance Conference, hosted by @smecommunity New York Section at A&O Shearman in Manhattan, our CEO & Founder, Dan Blondal, joined the panel “Developments in the Lithium Market.” “Great to contribute to a discussion on the lithium market and the importance of midstream refining and cathode processing to secure and diversify supply chains,” said Blondal. Thanks to moderator Andrew Frame (Evercore) and fellow panelists Keith Phillips (Q2 Metals), Roshan Pujari (Stardust Power), and Chris Evans (Li-FT Power), as well as @GouvQc and @InvestQuebec for your contributions to #CTMF2026. #CriticalMinerals #Lithium #CathodeMaterials #BatterySupplyChain #Cathodes #LFP #Batteries $NANO $NNOMF

📆⛏️Yesterday, Q2 Metals' Director/Executive Chair @keithdphillips was featured on a panel called "Developments in the Lithium Market" at the @smecommunity Trends in Mining Finance Conference. 🖼️Below are a couple of photos from the event. $QTWO.V $QUEXF #CiscoLithiumProject

We caught an incredible @smecommunity panel featuring top minds from @BlakesLaw, A&O Shearman, and @TheTerminal to get a closer look at M&A trends in the mining industry. While soaring development costs are clearly driving a 'buy vs. build' mentality, the panel highlighted a much deeper, structural shift: we are entering a distinct era of deglobalization and national protectionism, where critical minerals are being treated squarely as security assets. 1/4
