Why CORUM 2020?
Gold and metals have not been a popular investment choice among investors in the last decade. WHY?
There has been no time more crucial to add gold and other metals than the times we are living in now.
CORUM 2020 was formed to bring you the insiders' knowledge to make money in the mining sector. As the economic impact of the pandemic unfolds, investors will need more ways to diversify their investments and we hope to give you a head start on understanding how to navigate this potentially lucrative sector.

My Loud Speaker Marketing is an international award-winning full-service marketing agency based out of Vancouver. My Loud Speaker has grown from a 2-person basement office to a team of over 10 members with notable clients including CBC Television, University of British Columbia, Barrick Gold, Concert Properties, Vancouver Foundation, Simon Fraser University, and more. Matthew Tsang, co-founder, was initially drawn to the CORUM2020 because of the interesting juxtaposition between the necessity of mining in the world’s future, and the often negative perceptions against it. He sees the misunderstood industry as a challenge and an opportunity to educate people for the better, and CORUM2020 to be an innovative first step in the right direction.
We worked with My Loud Speaker on the branding and design assets for this event, and their creative team came up with the name itself.
