Each year, European investors in the resource markets find an increase of activity in November. Two events bring participants in mineral exploration and mining together; the Edelmetall- & Rohstoff-Messe (Precious Metals & Commodities Show) in Munich, and the Zimtu Road-Trip.

Metals, Mining and Munich

Long queues at 2012 Edelmetallmesse in Munich’s Olympiapark

The Edelmetallmesse is Europe’s largest gold and mineral resource show which attracts a significant number of investors, analysts and letter writers.  A unique characteristic of the show is the near frenzy of people lining up to buy physical gold and silver.  This show has attracted prominent international financial personalities including Eric Sprott, Marc Faber,  James Turk, David Morgan, Johann A. Saiger, Prof. Dr. Hans Bocker, Thorsten Schulte, Dimitri Speck, and Lawrence Roulston, just to name a few.  Exhibiting companies include the likes of Aurcana Corporation (CVE:AUN), Colt Resources Inc (CVE:GTP), First Majestic Silver Corp (NYSE:AG) (TSE:FR), Zimtu Capital Corp. (CVE:ZC), Focus Graphite Inc (OTCMKTS:FCSMF) (FRA:FKC), Monument Mining Limited (CVE:MMY), Premier Gold Mines Ltd. (TSE:PG) (OTCMKTS:PIRGF) and Western Potash Corp. (TSE:WPX).

Among the Edelmetallmesse exhibitors will be a group of at least seven junior explorers at a booth hosted by Zimtu Capital, a project generator that maintains holdings in companies ranging from early to advanced-stage and covering a number of commodities.  The Edelmetallmesse will be the first stop on the Zimtu Road-Trip.

The Zimtu Road-Trip is the annual event which brings mining executives and investors together in various European cities, and which begins this year in Munich and then makes stops in Geneva and Zurich. The companies participating in the 2013 trip include Lakeland Resources Inc. (CVE:LK) (OTCMKTS:LRESF), Prima Fluorspar Corp (CVE:PF), Commerce Resources Corp. (CVE:CCE), Pasinex Resources Ltd (CNSX:PSE) (FRA:PNX), Arctic Star Exploration Corp (CVE:ADD), Equitas Resources Corp (CVE:EQT) and Western Potash Corp. (TSE:WPX).
