"The quality of investors that you guys put together at 121 is what keeps us coming back. That's why continue on with London, New York, Indaba. You guys have established something that junior companies need: this exposure. The quality of investors you guys bring forward and the vetting you do is impeccable. I can't emphasise enough that 121 is probably one of the more premier, need to be at shows. And throughout the whole circuit of what you guys do. Cause what you do is you have a lot of reaches into different pockets throughout the world, and that's really been part of our success."

"The hosting, the conference has been run exceptionally well. For us, as a pure-play copper resource in Oman, there's been some fairly strong interest. Copper will survive the gold rush, and that's been a really interesting story here."
Peter Lee
Executive Chair
Alara Resources
"It's just the level of interest we've had and the curated list of investors that 121 has been able to assemble for us. We've been meeting every half hour from 10:00am each day, and it's been wonderful to see the breadth of interest in International Graphite. Particularly given how hot gold is at the moment, to still have that level of interest in critical minerals has been really refreshing."
Andrew Worland
Managing Director & CEO
International Graphite
"There were investors that I did want to see here, and I was glad to find them on the investor list. I asked for meetings and got them, and there was also a bunch of new investors. I'd have to say this was probably one of my best conferences with 121. It was really amazing and the setup was amazing. I have to brag about the TVs. With TVs, I don't have to pass out any papers, so we save a tree."

"When you're here for such a limited period of time, the efficiency is the most important. And the pre-qualification of investors, and from their standpoint, the pre-qualification of companies, are really important. The time, value of money, you couldn't compare it with anything else."

"It's just been really good. From our side of the coin, being a critical minerals play, there's a lot of interest, especially in the US, about that. So, putting ourselves in front of new investors that haven't seen our project before. Being listed on the ASX means, predominantly, we're only getting Australian investors. But to get ourselves in front of American investors is something new for the company. And so far, we've had seen some really positive feedback as well, so it's been good."

"The range of junior miners and investors across the sector. Geographically, it pulls together a lot of different people with assets around the world and just is a really good way to take the pulse of what's going on across the mining space."
Rachel Ziemba

Ziemba Insights
"You put on a good event, with a lot of good kind of junior mining companies. I come here, as well as the London event, you have an event in October as well. I come back because not only the companies are here, but the New York investment and sell-side community that is focused on mining, and junior mining in particular. And plus, we have a great relationship, cause I moderate panels, I speak here, and we had a great partnership sharing our videos together. It's a great relationship."
Howard Klein
Founder & Partner
RK Equity
"The most important thing is that we're a company that has a share price that has, in the past, been relatively flat. We have a new story to tell, we're looking at a new way to do this. And this is a good way to meet new investors and find more buying in our shares, wich we have certainly seen over the last couple 121 events. And we look forward to continuing on our relationship as we continue to have new news flow and to develop the company."

(now President & CEO, RPX Gold)
"It's great, it's always a great venue. I was in the London event as well, and we're here in New York today and it's always great to meet new investors, and just introduce them to the Mawson Finland story, and explain to them what we're doing, and how we're going to meet our milestones going forward."
Neil MacRae
Executive Chairman, Mawson Finland
(now SVP, Corporate Development, Goldsky Resources)
"I like networking, so that not only includes the mining companies, but also people that are involved in the resource space. Seeing companies that I actually own, but also always finding new ideas. And not even meeting companies that may not fit my investment style, but it's competitive intelligence and meeting new people and finding new opportunities."
Michael Spohn
Private Investor
"121 is providing very good access for investors for the international mining space, not just in North America. I've been to events in Hong Kong, I always go to the events in London, in Europe, as well as here in my hometown. But I think you're doing a great job in providing good access to mining companies, especially junior mining companies, for interesting investors and I think 121 should just continue to organise good events like this."
John Zhang
Managing Director
Roc Global
"What we found that there was a number of different types of investors, from family office all the way through to government bodies, institutions, and high net worth. So, it was a really broad exposure to different types of investors."
