May 28, 2026 - At the Mining Investment Event in Québec City, Clinch Resources will be participating among more than 100 global mining companies, institutional investors, and government stakeholders attending Canada’s premier Tier I mining investment conference.

As conversations around mining increasingly center on sustainability, supply chain resilience, and the future of industrial carbon materials, Clinch Resources offers a perspective that goes beyond the traditional energy narrative surrounding coal.

Clinch is focused on metallurgical coal and carbon-based industrial materials essential to steelmaking, carbon fiber, advanced manufacturing, and emerging space-age technologies. As global demand for specialty steel and carbon-intensive industrial products continues to grow, the company believes carbon remains a foundational material for the future economy.

What makes Clinch particularly relevant to the ESG and mining innovation discussions taking place in Québec is its emphasis on responsible mining practices and community stewardship. The company implements strict internal environmental and operational guidelines designed to leave mining sites and surrounding communities in better condition than before development began.

Potential interview angles include:

• Why metallurgical coal remains critical to global steel and infrastructure supply chains
• The role carbon materials play in advanced manufacturing and future technologies
• How mining companies can balance industrial demand with environmental stewardship
• Creating sustainable economic impact in mining communities through employment and infrastructure investment
• Why ESG accountability must begin with executive leadership and operational transparency

Clinch Resources also emphasizes biodiversity protection, regulatory compliance, lean operational methods, and long-term community investment as part of its broader corporate philosophy.
