PDAC at the Vancouver Board of Trade
PDAC President Rod Thomas will be giving anaddress to The Vancouver Board of Trade on January 29, 2015. His address will outline the vital role that the exploration and mining sector play in both the British Columbian and the Canadian economy. Global market conditions, increased competition, and the contraction of risk capital are dramatically reshaping the junior mining sector, leaving Canada at risk of losing our competitive advantage. While the sector is facing unprecedented challenges, Mr. Thomas will discuss how it is also an era of great opportunity for the sector, and the country. Register to attend the event.  |

Finance Committee Makes Recommendations to Support Mineral Exploration Industry
The House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance has tabled their Federal Budget 2015 recommendations in the report Towards Prosperity: Federal Budgetary Priorities for People, Businesses and Communities. The report includes two recommendations to support the mineral exploration and development industry, which closely mirror PDAC recommendations. The committee recommends renewal of the Targeted Geoscience Initiative (TGI), which the PDAC recommended, and asks the federal government to consider making the 15% Mineral Exploration Tax Credit permanent. The Federal Budget 2015 is expected in late February or early March of 2015. |
