Electra Battery Materials to participate in OECD Conference

Electra Battery Materials announced CEO Trent Mell will be participating in the 2024 OECD Conference of Mining Regions and Cities taking place October 8 to 11, 2024, in Greater Sudbury, Canada. The OECD is a forum and knowledge hub for data, analysis and best practices in public policy. This conference brings together stakeholders from across the public and private sectors, academia, civil society organisations, and Indigenous representatives, this year focusing on partnering for sustained development in mining regions and future-proofing regional mineral supply for the energy transition. Mr. Mell will be speaking as part of a panel discussion, as well as meeting with industry and other stakeholders during the conference. The panel, titled Advancing circular practices to increase local added-value, will discuss unlocking new business opportunities, notably circular economy strategies such as recycling. Electra CEO, Trent Mell said, “I am looking forward to participating in these important discussions. The OECD Conference of Mining Regions and Cities is an opportunity for stakeholders from various levels of government, locally and globally, along with industry and community representatives to come together to collaborate on solutions for building a greener future. Electra is committed to helping build a sustainable, North American battery materials supply chain, reducing reliance on foreign sources.”
