We had a great time at our Silver Investor Exclusive Social hosted by PBS Reno at their studio. Our Silver Investors enjoyed a behind-the-scenes look at the station, including PBS Reno’s newly renovated education space, and learned more about the impact of public broadcasting in our community. Thank you to the PBS Reno team for opening your doors and for all you do to serve Northern Nevada! 💙 #InvestinNorthernNevada

Over three days last week, the Québec Government Office in Los Angeles, represented by our Delegate Anne-Catherine Briand-Fortin and Green Economy Attaché Cédric Tiberinus, and supported by Investissement Québec, led a mining and critical minerals roadshow in Northern Nevada. Discussions with the Nevada Governor's Office of Economic Development (GOED) (Audrey Summers, Alex Bacchus), the University of Nevada, Reno, and the Nevada Tech Hub (Frederick Steinmann), the Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada (EDAWN) (Amanda Jones (Berry)), the Nevada Mining Association (Amanda Hilton), the Nevada 95-80 Regional Development Authority (Michelle Hammond Allen, MAgr), and the Northeastern Nevada Regional Development Authority (Sheldon Mudd) allowed us to identify concrete opportunities for complementarity. Site visits with Florida Canyon Mining, Inc., Lithium Americas Corp., and SSR Mining Inc. provided valuable insight into operations and further reinforced our conviction that #Nevada and #Québec, two of North America’s leading mining jurisdictions, play a fundamental role in driving innovation and strengthening continental security. We were also honored to be welcomed by the communities of Winnemucca and Elko through networking receptions and meetings. Together with i-80 Gold Corp, Orla Mining Ltd, and Patriot Critical Minerals, we witnessed firsthand how sustained collaboration among operators, developers, and solution providers creates long-term value. Québec is already an integral part of this ecosystem, and we are committed to deepening our role as a trusted partner. We are proud of the Québec companies who participated, BBA Consultants (Amanda Fitch, P.Eng., P.E, Marc Tardif, Colin Hardie), Norda Stelo (Dominic Tremblay, Carl Pelletier), HydroTech Mining Inc. (Richard Lalonde), Movex Innovation Inc. (Tupac Lopez), and ARLYX (Michael Simard), and demonstrated the expertise, depth and strength of Québec’s mining ecosystem. Special appreciation to Michelle Hammond Allen and Sheldon Mudd for their leadership, support, and warm welcome. This visit is part of a long-term strategic alignment between Québec and Nevada, grounded in continuity, credibility, and mutual respect. We already look forward to returning! #QcUS #Mining #CriticalMinerals Anna Poljicak Mathieu Cormier
