The Brazil-Canada Chamber of Commerce (BCCC) is proud to announce the 13^th Edition of the Brazil-Canada at PDAC taking place in Toronto during the 2019 PDAC Convention, which includes a series of events focused on the Brazilian mineral exploration and mining industries and will be held between March 2^nd and March 5^th, 2019.

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. In 2018, the PDAC Convention attracted over 1,000 exhibitors and 24,000 attendees and is considered the meeting point of the world’s mineral industry - drawing investors, mining executives and government officials from over 125 countries.

The Brazil-Canada Chamber of Commerce is saddened by the tragedy that happened in Brumadinho and standin solidarity with the victims, their families, friends and colleagues. Brazil is one of the sponsoring countries for PDAC 2019 and the BCCC has been working closely to the Brazilian Ministry of Mines and Brazilian Mining Associations to provide a full program and an even deeper analysis on the trends and opportunities in the
Brazilian Mineral sector.

This years program will include the Brazil-Canada Mining Brunch hosted by McCarthy Tetrault on Sunday March 3^rd - with the participation of the Honourable Admiral Bento de Albuquerque, Brazilian Minister of Mines and Energy - as well as the BCCC Exclusive Mining Luncheon followed by the Brazilian Mineral Exploration and Mining Industries – Companies’ Presentations & Networking, held in partnership with Baker & McKenzie on March 5^th at the PDAC Pavillion. The program will also include the panel Leading the Way: Design to Unleash Diversity's Power, held in partnership with IBRAM, Global Affairs Canada and Women in Mining and a panelon Risks & Crisis Management in Complex Environment: Tackling the Sustainability of your Business and of the Mining Sector, with the participation of Tom Burke, CEO at ICMM, Veronica Nyham Jones from IFC World Bank and Wendy Tyrell from DPI Mining, among others.

On Monday, March 4^th, we have the Brazilian Market Open Ceremony at TSX with the participation of high officials of the Brazilian Government, followed by the Brazilian Mining Day organized by Brazilian Ministry of Mines & Energy.

Over the years, the Brazil-Canada 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.

Our events also offer an unique networking opportunity, which have been the starting point to many successful transactions along the years. The high profiles of our speakers discussions and attendees have certainly been the key success factor at our event.

We look forward to having your company involved in the 13^th Edition of the Brazil-Canada at PDAC
