The Capital Markets Program is intended to create a forum for a dialogue on a range of topics related to the financing of mineral exploration. Access to capital is the lifeblood of the mineral exploration industry.

Canada’s capital markets play a critical role in supporting the financing of mineral exploration in Canada and around the world.

As the national voice for the Canadian exploration industry, PDAC conducts research to ensure Canada’s capital markets facilitate capital raising simply, affordably and effectively, and advocates for Canadian jurisdictions to adopt fiscal and regulatory environments that make Canada an attractive place to explore.

PDAC 2024 marks the launch of integrated policy sessions, which feature multi-disciplinary themes in multiple program areas. Sessions integrated with Indigenous and Sustainability are noted below.
