Hello Colleagues, Friends of CTMF

Thank you all! I wish I could do so personally. I can not, there are too many of you who contributed, supported, and participated with us over the ten years of CTMF, and for our three online events as well as at the many other panels, sessions at SME's and AEMA's annual meetings I was involved with you orchestrating over as many years.

Save the dates for the 11th Current Trends in Mining Finance Conference that will be on May 19 & 20, 2026, at the offices of A&O Shearman again in Midtown New York City. The two-day conference will offer panel discussions and presentations in a similar format to prior years with new participants and some tenured favorites.

Organizational duties are being carried on by two SME NY Section members, Alan Oshiki AlanOshiki@pushtree.com and Darwin Werthessen massmineralappraisal@gmail.com. Reach out and contact them if you have inquiries, comments, submissions, and want to be a Sponsor. They will respond directly and accordingly.

I will remain involved with the industry, continuing my analysis and advisory work, for example, with the South Dakota headquartered RESPEC group. A growing advisory, consulting firm active in mining and an ever-growing roster of supporting and related services and business segments of our technical economy that I've worked in and with over my many years in the business.

RESPEC has more than 30 offices in North America. They are local. Receive periodic updates about their growing roster of services, markets and expertise by subscribing to their newsletters.  

If you attend AEMA's 130th! annual meeting in early December in Reno, Nevada, you may want to connect with Alan and Darwin about CTMF 2026 in New York City in May and meet with members of the RESPEC team. They'll be there! It's an excellent event.

Please stay in touch. I look forward to crossing paths at future events and activities. It has been a real honor to work with you all.

Best wishes and Happy Holidays!

Best regards,

Tim
