ABOUT PDAC
The Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) represents the interests of the Canadian mineral exploration and development industry and is responsible for organizing the International Convention, Trade Show & Investors Exchange – Mining Investment Show in Toronto, ON, Canada. The PDAC Convention is considered the meeting point of the world’s mineral exploration industry, drawing investors, mining executives and government officials from over 132 countries.
Brazil is once again a Country Sponsor of the 91st PDAC Conference 2023, and the BCCC is working in partnership with the Organizing Committee of Brazil at PDAC 2023 led by ADIMB to provide a full program and an even deeper analysis of the trends and opportunities in the Brazilian mineral sector, supporting the discussions during the Brazilian Mining Day, which will be focused on investment opportunities, business attraction and regulatory changes in the Brazilian mining and mineral exploration sector.
The Brazil-Canada Conference at PDAC has become a must-attend event for everyone interested in understanding the current trends and opportunities of the Brazilian mineral exploration and mining industries. The high profiles of our speakers, discussions and attendees have certainly been the key success factor of our event, which through their networking power, have been the starting point of many successful transactions over the years.
We look forward to having your company participate in the 17th edition of the Brazil-Canada Conference at PDAC and welcoming you to Toronto in March 2023.
