The Goodman Gold Challenge (GGC) is the first competition of its kind, stepping away from the paper-based case study and offering students a hands-on experience taken straight from the investment industry.

The Goodman Gold Challenge (GGC) is the most unique and realistic mining investment competition for undergraduate students in the world and registration is now open! There are only twelve spots available so it is advised that teams reserve their spots as soon as possible.

Using existing companies in their current situations, the GGC is unlike all other competitions; not paper-based and not using fictitious companies.

This challenge enacts an investment scenario in which each participating university team plays the role of a finance firm. The firms are competing for a single, wealthy client’s business and their investment committee.

Executives from three real mining companies will “pitch” their business to the teams, and they will need to select one in which to invest. The teams will have to prove through thorough analysis that they indeed have a better investment strategy, better return, and the best justification for their decision.

The most unique mining investment competition for undergraduate students!
The student’s performance could win their team the cash equivalent of four (4) ounces of gold.

Choose wisely, the stakes are high!

• You are a financial advisor.
• Three CEOs pitch their companies to you.
• You can choose only one to pitch to your top tier clients.

How students can participate?

• Teams of Four Undergraduate Students
• Location: Laurentian University, Goodman School of Mines, Sudbury, ON!
• Cost: $800.00 +HST Registration Fee per team!
