Our friends from Benchmark Mineral Intelligence – formidable experts when it comes to battery tech and the mineral resources driving it – are returning to the U.S. in May for another round of their World Tour.

This year’s tour will “focus on the supply chains for the next generation of battery technologies,” and seek to answer the question of what is next “as we enter the era of advanced lithium ion batteries in electric vehicles and utility storage?”

The Benchmark World Tour 2018 will explore to what extent advancements in the field could impact the supply chain for mineral resources – Lithium, Cobalt, Vanadium and Graphite, all of which have made U.S. Secretary of the Interior Zinke’s recently-released draft list of critical minerals.

Benchmark Mineral Intelligence’s Managing Director Simon Moores, who is also a member of the ARPN panel of experts, and his team will be at the following locations in May:

New York – Monday 7 May 2018

Toronto – Wednesday 9 May 2018

Chicago –  Friday 11 May 2018 (with Deutsche Bank)

San Francisco – Monday 14 May 2018 (with Deutsche Bank)

Vancouver – Wednesday 16 May 2018
