Media Advisory: Minister Coady Attending Annual Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada’s Mining Convention and Trade Show

The Honourable Siobhan Coady, Minister of Natural Resources, is participating in the annual Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada’s Mining Convention and Trade Show (PDAC). The convention and trade show is taking place at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, 222 Bremner Blvd, Toronto, from March 5 to 8. Minister Coady also spoke at the Newfoundland and Labrador reception on the weekend.

With over 900 exhibitors and 22,000 attendees from 125 countries, PDAC offers local companies the opportunity to make valuable connections, share their expertise and demonstrate the strength and capability of the province’s mining industry. Additional information on PDAC can be found by visiting: www.pdac.ca.

In tandem with this year’s PDAC conference, the Provincial Government has released the most recent collection of reports from the Geological Survey which collects, interprets and disseminates geoscience data, with the goal of enhancing the province’s geoscience knowledge base. The data is used mainly by the mineral-resource industry to inform and enhance exploration and investment efforts. The most recent collection of reports can be found by visiting:
