Women and Wealth: Understanding the Mining Raise Playbook

In this LinkedIn Live, we sit down with Alicia Milne, CEO, President, and Director at Q2 Metals Corp, and pull back the curtains on how mining companies raise capital, navigate commodity cycles, and make decisions grounded in geology and market reality.

Alicia walks us through Q2's lithium project acquisition in 2024 during a market downturn and what that experience taught her about timing, research, and risk tolerance. She breaks down what retail investors need to understand about mining investment, from commodity cycles to project quality to management track records. We talk about the gaps women face when moving from operations into capital conversations and why building investment knowledge matters as much as building technical expertise.

This is exactly why we created Women + Investing Live at PDAC. On March 1 in downtown Toronto, we bring together women for an in-person session on financial foundations, investing education, and how mining can play a role in investment portfolios. Tim Borody, Wealth Advisor at Advice First Wealth, walks through planning, risk, and tax considerations. Alicia shares what makes mining companies investable and how to evaluate opportunities beyond commodity price alone.

If you work in mining and want to understand investing from inside the industry, you already belong in this conversation. We built this space so women move toward ownership with context, vocabulary, and the ability to ask better questions.
