A brief submitted by the Canadian Mineral Industry Federation (CMIF) details seven policy priorities that require action for Canada to sustain a vibrant and responsible industry. Learn more. |

In addition to online participation, there are opportunities to attend a public workshop or make a formal presentation to the Expert Panel.

Wearing the Maple Leaf at home and away |
Canada is home to more publicly-listed exploration and mining companies than any other country in the world, and almost half of the mineral properties owned by these companies are located internationally. Under the right governance, projects can responsibly generate economic and social opportunities for companies, as well as the host countries and its communities where it operates. PDAC Executive Director Andrew Cheatle writes about expectations the association has for members, and the tools available to them. Learn more. |
