Kilo garnered much attention and interest from investment fund managers and several influencial mining analysts.  Senior Kilo management including Klaus Eckhof (President and CEO), Peter Hooper (Executive Chairman), and Stanley Robinson (Geologist) also had an opportunity to meet with several existing shareholders, JV partners Rio Tinto, other potential partners operating in the DRC, DRC government officials, and many suppliers (both existing and prospective).

If this show is a barometer of the health of the mining industry and year to come, things are looking very good.  As noted by Financial Times reporter Matthew Kennard who was in attendance at this year’s show …  “My early impression is that the swagger (or at least a carefree jaunt) is back in the step of the great and good of the mining industry. Investors are also back and interested …”.

In addition to presenting at the conference, Kilo had a booth on the exhibit floor where we had an opportunity to meet with existing shareholders, prospective  shareholders,  analysts, fund managers, financial planners, and others  involved in the industry.
