Solid market fundamentals, including high metal prices, remain in place as we move into the second half of the year."

What is on at the CSE

The CSE team is always excited to dust off their Stetson hats and join in the Calgary Stampede, and this year was no different. Keeping with tradition, the CSE-hosted prestampede breakfast was a fun affair that featured no shortage of denim, pancake flipping and quality networking. The team was also pleased to attend the CSE-sponsored Takestock-at-Stampede investor forum (named for Sam Grier of Stirling Capital), as well as other events over the course of the festivities.

The latest edition of the Blockchain Futurist Conference, one of North America's leading Web3, artificial intelligence and crypto events, will be held in Toronto on July 21 and July 22. Richard Carleton will be participating in a main stage panel on July 21 titled Parliament, Policy & Regulation: Canada's Digital Asset Future. The conference features many other prominent expert speakers that specialize in emerging technologies. Please register.
