The Cobalt Congress is the major annual event for the cobalt industry. It is the world’s leading
forum bringing together the en’re cobalt and wider cri’cal minerals value chain as well as many
of the world’s largest cobalt investors to discuss the latest challenges and opportuni’es for the
industry, both from business and poli’cal perspec’ves. In the context of growing demand for
cri’cal minerals, the Cobalt Congress provides an opportunity to connect with the industry
leaders and influen’al policy-makers to discuss the future of cobalt in the green economy.

As a recognized global voice on cri’cal mineral supply chain security, Mitchell will speak May
15th on the day two, session four panel: "Capitalising on opportuni.es: how policy and finance
can work together to support resilient cobalt supply chains."
Mike Blakeney - Head of Government Affairs, Cobalt InsAtute will moderate the panel with
speakers including:
•Dr. Andrew Tong - Incoming CEO - Cobalt Blue Holdings Ltd.
•Gracelin Baskaran - Director, CriAcal Minerals Security Program - Center for Strategic and

The era-defining shiH from fossil fuels to clean energy is set to deliver an unprecedented new
boom for commodi’es, and an opportunity for investors, as a range of cri’cal minerals finally
get the aVen’on they deserve due to their essen’al role in delivering emissions-free power and
transport. To meet global climate change targets, demand for minerals and metals, like cobalt,
used in green technologies such as rechargeable ba Veries used in vehicle electrifica’on is
expected to rise exponen’ally, and yet these irreplaceable building blocks enabling the energy
transi’on, are expected to be in short supply, in part due to concentra’on of produc’on and
processing.
But as the global ini ’a’ve to transi’on away from many carbon-based forms of energy
proceeds, so too does the urgency arise for sustainable sources for cri’cal components that go
into these green technologies.
Markets, miners, and manufacturers are assessing where, how, and when to invest. During the
- -3
panel discussion Mitchell intends to emphasize how in light of cross border tariffs, a growing
supercharged an’-globalism sen’ment trend and the push to regionalize supply chains
becoming a priority, demand for cri’cal materials con’nues to grow and that this scenario
provides a genera’onal investment opportunity. Financing compelling projects, backing strong
companies and taking interests in innova’ve technologies involved in the industry are just a few
of several strategic ways Smith plans to outline how investors can gain exposure to the growing
sector and secure much needed supply for the electrified future.

the event or alterna’vely would like to schedule a one-on-one mee’ng outside of the event,
