Providing an unparalleled opportunity to showcase Canadian mining expertise and leadership with focus on:

Last year, Canadian companies benefited from a curated business-to-business meeting program aimed at connecting Canadian companies with international stakeholders. They also engaged in exclusive roundtable discussions with prospective international buyers and partners; and gained access to more than 25 Trade Commissioners from around the world who offered invaluable insights into markets and international export opportunities. This resulted in an impressive total of 250 meetings, many of which have blossomed into successful business partnerships!
Once again, we will be leveraging PDAC 2024 to organize a business program aimed at providing export- ready Canadian businesses the opportunity to explore international mining supply opportunities.
