Many thanks to @robert_ivanhoe for presenting at our 2026 Critical Minerals Symposium last week!
What a privilege to return to the Colorado School of Mines to present at the Payne Institute for Public Policy’s 2026 Critical Minerals Symposium.
Morgan Bazilian and the entire team put together a very important event, highlighting how important these vital metals are to our national security.
The students here at the Colorado School of Mines are some of the brightest engineers I’ve ever had the honor of meeting, and they will undoubtedly become the future leaders of our mining industry here in the USA, and all over the world.
All of us within the Ivanhoe family are deeply supportive of @MBazilian and the mission of the @coschoolofmines and @payneinstitute to serve industry, benefit society, and create a prosperous future through talent and innovation.
We look forward to continuing this open dialogue for many generations to come.
