PDAC at the Vancouver Board of Trade
PDAC President Rod Thomas will be giving an address 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 and 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. PDAC Members can enter promotional code PDAC1 for member rate ($79 plus tax).

PDAC released report on Government Resource Revenue Sharing (GRRS)
Last month, the PDAC released a research report that examines the issue of government resource revenue sharing (GRRS) in Canada – the sharing of government revenues generated from mineral development with Aboriginal Peoples. The report offers a jurisdictional scan of the existing GRRS models in Canada, as well as a brief overview of those provinces that have not
|
|
| developed a GRRS policy or signed agreements with Aboriginal communities. The report then briefly characterizes some of the key elements within government resource revenue sharing agreements. Read the full research report, here. |
