The Mining Forum Americas 2025 in Numbers
Less than three months to go before one of the sector's biggest events
The Mining Forum Americas 2025 returns to The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs on September 14-17.
With the gold price again reaching new highs and making headlines, this year’s event will again attract a large contingent of miners, developers, explorers, royalty companies and investors.
At this stage, 144 companies will be attending. North America-focused companies still dominate the program at 74, followed by Australia (30), South America (15), West Africa (11), the rest of Africa (6), Asia (4) and Europe (3).
Gold producers will again be the largest group by market capitalization, followed by royalty and streaming companies, silver producers and gold developers.
This year’s agenda also features copper producers, copper, palladium and silver developers, gold, copper and silver explorers, a gold bullion dealer and even a titanium producer, Kenmare Resources (LSE: LMR).
The total market capitalization of all companies is US$658.2 billion, which compares to US$437 billion last year.
The Toronto Stock Exchange hosts the largest proportion of companies, worth US$316.9 billion, followed by the New York Stock Exchange, Shanghai Stock Exchange and Australian Securities Exchange.
Gold companies remain the largest represented group, accounting for a combined market capitalization of US$618 billion.
Despite recent positive price moves, Australia’s Chalice Mining (ASX: CHN) is the only platinum group element company this year.
It’s generally been a good year for most gold stocks, but there have been a group to register triple digit percentage gains over the past 12 months.
Growing Western Australian producer Catalyst Metals (ASX: CYL) was the biggest mover heading into last year’s Gold Forum Americas and has backed it up with another big year.
Northern Dynasty Minerals (TSX: NDM) has also had a good year, thanks to the re-election of Donald Trump boosting the development prospects of its Pebble copper project in Alaska.
Discovery Silver Corp (TSX: DSV) has grown off the back of the acquisition of the Porcupine operation from Newmont Corporation (TSX: NEM).
Lundin Gold (TSX: LUG) and Avino Silver & Gold Mines (TSX: ASM) have been bolstered by strong operating results, while Heliostar Metals (TSXV: HSTR), Black Cat Syndicate (ASX: BC8) and Vertex Minerals (ASX: VTX) have recently become, or in the case of Vertex, about to become, producers.
Montage Gold (TSXV: MAU) and Northisle Copper and Gold Inc (TSXV: NCX) have moved development projects forward, while Collective Mining (TSX: CNL) and Omai Gold Mines (TSXV: OMG) have been boosted by exploration success.
The keynote speakers for this year’s Mining Forum Americas will be announced shortly, but below is a list of all of this year’s participating companies.
