experiences to develop strategies and action plans that support the protection of

investments in precious metals. Hamad Abdullah Al Hammadi, Deputy Group CEO

at ADQ, and Philip Clegg, Managing Partner of Orion Abu Dhabi attended the
session.

Hamad Al Hammadi said: “The mining sector is one of the strategic pillars for
