The Fourth Annual Global Mining & Metals Investment Forum 2006, supported by SSC Mandarin, The China Gold Association and 3D-Gold took place in Hong Kong, 29 August and Singapore 31 August.

The conference commenced with a dinner hosted by Hang Fung Gold Technology Group and SSC Mandarin in Hong Kong.

This unique event provided a platform for mining companies to foster business and promote investor relations. Over 100 participants of the most influential companies explored current and future trends affecting all aspects of mining.

From all accounts this was a highly successful conference both from a mining and from an investor point of view.

The SSC Mandarin Group, SSC Sino Gold & the China Gold Association joined forces with Omega this year and lent their considerable support to this initiative. Apart from presenting in the event, they also offered their expertise and contacts.

The SSC Mandarin Group is a natural resources consultancy that specialises in public listings, pre-IPO financing and capital fund raising. With offices in Hong Kong, Singapore, Hangzhou, Beijing and Johannesburg, SSC Mandarin offers a wide range of corporate finance and wealth management services.

The China Gold Association is a major membership organisation representing wide mining interests all across China. The CGA is an influential body, governing and developing the gold mining industry in China.

Hong Kong & Singapore, with their very considerable investment community and well-established interest in gold, diamonds and precious metals, have largely been neglected – hence our reason for having organised this forum in 2006.

Omega’s objective was to bring together parties from the mining & minerals industry and the financial sector, in order to create a high-powered networking and investment platform.
