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.comReach 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

SME's Current Trends in Mining Finance (CTMF) Conference

CTMF Conferences bring together subject matter experts and interested stakeholders involved with evaluating, de-risking, finding and financing minerals projects of all types worldwide. Join us for a series of panel discussions and keynotes about trends, non-technical and technical issues, policy to navigate the risks that affect capital raising in the global minerals industry and how management and investors can evaluate and manage best practices and technology to anticipate, track and manage mining, processing and recycling projects.

The New York Section of SME (www.smeny.org) dates back to 1871 when a handful of mining engineers in New York City and Pennsylvania founded the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical and Petroleum Engineers (AIME). SME is an international society of AIME of more than 14,000 professionals in the minerals industry across nearly 100 countries. SME is a member society of the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical and Petroleum Engineers. www.smenet.org

ICYMI: The DLCC shattered expectations on Election Night, securing the largest VA House majority since 1987

Despite being the most competitive chamber on the ballot this year, Democrats in Virginia swept the floor – securing at least a 64-seat House majority and flipping 13 seats blue.

Democrats must keep up the momentum. With our next special election just 11 days away, will you make a $7 donation?

This is the kind of victory that’s possible when our entire grassroots team comes together, but these results alone aren’t enough to keep the full force of the Trump administration at bay.

Democrats are going on offense – we must continue to fight fire with fire and expand our majorities in states nationwide. But to double down on our work to expand Democratic power in the states, we need your support.

Can you chip in your first $7 donation to the DLCC ahead of our next election in just 11 days?

If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will process immediately.

MATCH MY GIFT

Honor the selfless service of our veterans

 

Your gift will go  2X as far 

              

Dear USO Supporter,

Veterans Day is almost here, and this is an important time for military supporters to come together and stand with our heroes in uniform.

As a nonprofit organization, we rely on generous donors to fuel our programs. And thanks to our supporters, we reach 40% of service members through our programs, including those serving in remote and dangerous places worldwide. But we need your help to continue to be there for the people who serve through every step of their service.

If you act now, thanks to our friends at the NFL, your gift in honor of Veterans Day will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to a total of $50,000.*

Please make a gift today that provides vital support for our heroes at every step of their military journey — you’ll receive a FREE American flag.

Thank you for making a difference for those who serve our country.

With gratitude,

The USO

Each of these elections presents an opportunity to protect or expand Democratic power in our statehouses, our most effective firewall against the worst of the Trump administration.

The DLCC is at the forefront of the fight to build and expand Democratic majorities in state legislatures – winning elections, making the data-driven investments, and building a strong foundation for progressive power nationwide. We’re ready to get to work.

Let’s hit the ground running,

Team DLCC
