The invitation-only event is attended by the world’s leading specialist precious metal investors as well as generalist institutional investors. Buy- and sell-side analysts from around the world make up the balance of the participants.

At the meeting, VRB Energy was positively mentioned by Robert Friedland the Chairman of Ivanhoe Mines, and by Frank Fannon, the newly appointed director of Ivanhoe Electric. Mr. Fannon is the former inaugural United States Assistant Secretary of State for Energy Resources.


Mr. Friedland in discussing Ivanhoe Mines commented that "without grid scale energy storage there will be no Green Energy transformation and the Green Revolution cannot exist"




Mr. Fannon indicated that green grid scale energy storage is absolutely critical to integrate with renewable energy for “Green Mining” and that VRB Energy is the leading grid-scale energy storage battery company. He indicated that Ivanhoe Electric may seek to deploy its use at its huge Santa Cruz copper mining project in Arizona .
