Plenary session: Economic Outlook

The economic environment continues to be challenging for
the mining industry. Market, currency, and commodity price
volatilities introduce uncertainty and risk. Many external
factors other than demand and supply impact the industry,
yet the underlying economic fundamentals remain important.
Doug Porter, Chief Economist & Managing Director, BMO
Financial Group, will share his insight into the economic
environment and his views on the future outlook.

9:05 am – 9:35 am

Plenary session: Commodity Outlook

It continues to be a volatile time for commodity prices.
We welcome Martin Murenbeeld, Chief Economist,
Dundee Capital Markets, and will hear his views on the
outlook for gold, and how recent events may impact the
outlook for 2015.

9:35 am – 10:35 am

Plenary session: The changing role of the CFO &
Audit Committee

What are the most difficult challenges facing today’s finance
executives and how are they meeting them? What are the
challenges facing Boards, and how does that differ from
Management? Our panel of experts have seen both sides
and will be able to share their unique perspectives with the
audience on a range of topics.
