Record Roster of 73 Companies Set to Present at Mining Forum Europe 2026

The 26th annual forum returns to the Park Hyatt Zürich on April 13–15, featuring the largest member lineup in over a decade and a large audience of institutional investors.

When Mining Forum Europe opens its doors on Monday afternoon, it will welcome more presenting companies, more institutional investors, and a broader geographic footprint than at any point in the event's recent history. Seventy-three member companies have confirmed their participation, a 66% increase over last year's 44, representing an aggregate market capitalization of more than $518 billion.

A Who’s Who of Precious Metals

The presenting roster reads like a roll call of the global gold and silver sector. Agnico Eagle Mines ($105B market cap), Wheaton Precious Metals ($62B), AngloGold Ashanti ($52B), and Kinross Gold ($40B) anchor the large-cap slate, while Pan American Silver ($24B), Coeur Mining ($21B), and First Majestic Silver ($10B) bring major silver representation. Royal Gold ($17B), Wheaton ($62B), and Triple Flag ($7B) ensure the royalty and streaming segment is well covered.

But it’s not just the majors. The roster spans the full development spectrum, 40 producers, 19 developers at various stages from scoping to construction, 10 advanced explorers, and 3 royalty and streaming companies, offering investors a view across the entire mining lifecycle. Operations span five continents, with projects across the Americas, Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Europe.

With gold trading near $4,747 per ounce and silver at $75.83, presenting companies are meeting investors in what may be the most constructive precious metals environment in a decade.

C-Suite Access at Scale

One of Denver Gold Group's defining features for its events is the seniority of its presenting delegates, and this year is no exception. Approximately 90% of member company delegates hold C-suite or senior executive titles, including Chairmen, CEOs, Managing Directors, CFOs, COOs, and Directors who are directly accountable for strategy, capital allocation, and operational execution. With 154 member delegates registered (up from 90 last year), the forum offers an unusually concentrated opportunity for institutional investors to engage directly with decision-makers.

The buy-side audience is equally credentialled. Among the 290 registered investors are representatives from hedge funds, family offices, pension funds, private equity firms, and discretionary investment managers based across 30 countries. About half are returning attendees, and 37% are new to the forum, showing the event’s reputation is reaching new corners of the institutional landscape.

Three Days, Three Tracks

For the first time since 2019, the program has been expanded to three days to accommodate the record number of members. Presentations begin Monday afternoon, April 13, and continue through Wednesday, April 15, across multiple tracks in the Park Hyatt’s Ballrooms.

Keynote Program: Macro Meets Metals

Beyond the company presentations, the forum’s keynote program tackles the big questions facing precious metals investors in 2026. Chris Wood, Global Head of Equity Strategy at Jefferies, opens proceedings on Monday evening with a provocative look at whether gold and silver miners remain structurally under-owned despite record metal prices. On Tuesday morning, Zoltan Pozsar—the former Credit Suisse strategist now leading independent research firm Ex Uno Plures—delivers what promises to be one of the week’s most anticipated sessions, charting the path from the post-2022 sanctions shock to a new monetary paradigm he calls “the Golden Age.” Later that day, MKS PAMP’s Nicky Shiels examines the outlook for gold beyond $4,000, exploring central bank demand floors, crowding risk, and what happens when the parabolic move matures.

Wednesday features John Forwood, CIO of Lowell Resources Funds, dissecting the persistent valuation gap between ASX- and TSX-listed miners—a topic of particular relevance given the growing Australian contingent at MFE26—followed by Cupel Advisory’s Neil Adshead asking whether producer equity investments in juniors create value or destroy capital.

The week’s centerpiece panel, Money in Disorder, Metals in Demand: Markets and Mining in Transition, brings Wood, Shiels, and Adshead together on Tuesday evening for a wide-ranging discussion on inflation, sovereign debt, and the role of precious metals in a world where monetary policy certainties have evaporated.

The Investment Opportunity Across the Spectrum

The breadth of this year’s roster gives investors exposure to a wide range of investment profiles. Among the highlights:

LARGE-CAP PRODUCERS

Agnico Eagle ($110B), Harmony ($10B), and Equinox Gold ($12B) headline the presentation program, while AngloGold Ashanti ($52B) and Kinross Gold ($40B) are on site taking 1x1 meetings. Combined, the large-cap contingent represents more than $220 billion in market capitalization, with several names delivering one-year returns above 100%.

SILVER & PRECIOUS METALS DIVERSIFIED

Pan American Silver ($24B), Coeur Mining ($21B), Hecla Mining ($13B), and First Majestic Silver ($10B) lead the silver presentation program, with Aya Gold & Silver ($2.3B) rounding out a deep silver contingent. MFE26 offers one of the most concentrated silver-focused programs of any institutional mining event.

EMERGING DEVELOPERS & EXPLORERS

Skeena Gold + Silver ($3.8B), Perpetua Resources ($3.7B), NOVAGOLD ($3.1B), and Rio2 ($1.0B) are among the development-stage companies offering growth exposure. Meanwhile, explorers like Amex Exploration ($408M) and Solitario Resources ($79M) give investors a window into the next generation of deposits.

ROYALTY & STREAMING

Wheaton Precious Metals ($62B), Royal Gold ($17B), and Triple Flag ($7B) provide the capital-light, diversified model that has outperformed across market cycles. Their combined market cap of $86 billion underscores the maturation of the streaming sector.

1x1 Meetings: The Forum’s Engine Room

Behind the presentation program, the real work of Mining Forum Europe happens in the 1x1 meeting rooms. Sixty-five meeting locations have been configured across the Park Hyatt, with nearly 40 meeting slots. The meeting system has already generated ~3,700 meeting requests—a 42% increase over last year—reflecting the strong demand to connect participating companies with the assembled investor base.

Looking Ahead

Mining Forum Europe 2026 convenes at a unique moment: a precious metals market trading at generational highs, a mining sector re-rated by public markets, and a global macroeconomic environment that has pushed gold firmly back into institutional portfolios. With 73 companies presenting to an audience of more than 500 pre-registered attendees from 30 countries, the forum’s 26th edition is shaping up to be its most significant in years.
