The AME BC Speaker Series is a networking lunch event held three times a year that provides invaluable opportunities for members to connect with industry leaders to gain first-hand accounts of current and upcoming issues in the mineral exploration and development sector. Non-members are welcome to attend.

The third installment of the 2013/2014 AME BC Speaker Series Lunch will feature Randy Smallwood, President and Chief Executive Officer of Silver Wheaton. The lunch will take place on Tuesday, November 25 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Vancouver.

Mr. Smallwood’s talk, titled “Portfolio Optimization: The Streaming Approach,” will discuss the numerous benefits of streaming for both the mineral exploration and mining industry and investors wishing to gain exposure to precious metals. Given the mineral exploration and development industry’s constant need for capital, streaming provides a flexible source of funding for companies through metal purchase agreements by unlocking the value of their byproduct precious metals production. Discover how streaming results in win-win transactions and creates shareholder value for both the streamer and the partner company. As an investment option, see how Silver Wheaton has become a premier investment in precious metals by reducing risks traditionally associated with the mineral exploration and development industry.
