President's
Blog

Little did I know what was in store for me as I embarked on my journey to become the 38th President of the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada.

As we begin 2023, I reflect on the successful year that we leave behind and look forward to the many opportunities that lay ahead.

On behalf of the PDAC Board of Directors, President Felix Lee shared a statement to make clear that we—as an organization, member and representative of the Canadian mineral exploration and development industry—unequivocally condemn racism, inequity, discrimination and hatred in all forms.

We caught up with PDAC President Glenn Mullan to learn about his thoughts on S-IMEW 2018 and his role in this important student workshop.

PDAC President Glenn Mullan says, anyone working in mineral exploration, mining, or mining development normally sees travel as part of the job. Africa, Asia, Australia, Central and South America, Russia, these – and many more International locales – are all now Canada’s mining partners and neighbours.

In his first blog since stepping into the top job, PDAC President Glenn Mullan shares his view on what life is like from the perspective of the President.

Glenn Mullan is the 36th President of the Prospectors & Developers of Canada. He took time to answer some of our questions so that we can get to know him a little better while he settles into the role.

It is with great excitement that I share plans for the Canada Infrastructure Bank, as announced in the Fall Economic Statement. This important initiative—part of the Federal Government’s nation-building infrastructure plan—is something PDAC has advocated for since 2013.

I would like to start my first blog post by saying how proud I am to be the 35th President of the PDAC, and to be part of such a renowned organization that is so widely respected across the world.

Canadian Prime Minister Harper has promised to renew the Mineral Exploration Tax Credit (METC) for a period of three years, in addition to creating an enhanced 25 per cent METC for projects in Canada’s northern and remote regions.

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the PDAC was held on March 1, 2015 at the PDAC International Convention, Tradeshow & Investors Exchange and included a number of by-law amendments designed to modernize and improve the association’s governance.

By hosting the Prime Minister at its annual convention for the first time in its 82-year history, the PDAC continues to expand its political influence.
