Support the industry's future and profile your company during S-IMEW
Sponsorship opportunities for S-IMEW 2015 are still available. The continued success and ongoing viability of the workshop is largely dependent on the continued generosity of its sponsors. This workshop would not be the success that it is without the sponsors and the efforts of our volunteers who generously give their time and expertise to our students. Sponsoring the workshop is an opportunity to raise the profile of your organization and gain access to top Canadian talent. Review all Sponsorship opportunities.

PDAC Membership
Expanded PDAC sponsored insurance program for members
PDAC understands that members are primarily focused on exploration and mining—not insurance. Therefore, PDAC established and sponsors three exclusive insurance programs designed specifically for the membership. 
The program, originally established in 2007, has undergone a revitalization to reflect the changing market conditions and to ensure you continue to have access to appropriate and cost effective insurance with a high level of service.

The Group Benefits Program provides access to enhanced health and dental benefits, as well as life, long-term disability and critical illness to both individuals and corporations.

The Consultants Package includes professional liability insurance and general insurance products for individuals and consulting firms working in the Canadian mineral exploration and earth sciences sectors.

The Mining/Contractors Package is aimed at addressing the needs of any and all Canadian mining companies that are private or public, exploration or operating, and mining contractors/equipment providers.
