Junior mineral exploration companies will have an opportunity to showcase their projects to a wider investment audience. The First Junior Accelerator and the MINEX Forum have opened applications for their upcoming Investor Day, where selected exploration teams will receive professional support before presenting their projects to industry stakeholders.
The event is designed for exploration companies seeking to introduce their projects directly to potential partners. The audience will include investors, mining companies, industry experts, and other participants from the mineral resources sector.
Applications are open to license holders and exploration companies with projects at the prospecting, evaluation, or exploration stage. Priority commodities include gold, silver, copper, polymetallic deposits, and placer gold.
The organizers have clearly divided responsibilities. The Junior Accelerator will handle application screening, preliminary technical evaluation, and mentoring, helping participants refine their investment presentations. MINEX will provide the professional platform and bring together an audience of qualified investors and industry decision-makers.
Projects will be evaluated against several key criteria, including a valid exploration license, the current stage of development, the quality of the geological rationale, the presence of a lead geologist within the project team, economic viability, and a clearly defined investment proposition. Applicants are also expected to have either an approved geological exploration program or a formal exploration work plan.
The organizers emphasize that participation in Investor Day does not guarantee financing or a commercial agreement. The objective is to identify promising projects, help teams present them professionally, and create opportunities for meaningful discussions with investors and mining industry professionals.
Applications will be accepted until August 1. Projects can be submitted through the MINEX section of the juniorcapital.ru website.
The Khabarovsk Investor Day could become a launching pad for junior exploration companies that possess promising licenses and geological concepts but lack direct access to investment capital. By taking responsibility for project selection and presentation preparation, the organizers allow participants to focus on what matters most—telling a compelling story about their mineral assets.
