Opportunities NB (ONB) is recruiting New Brunswick companies to participate in the NB Trade Mission to the PDAC 2023 International Convention in Toronto from March 5-8, 2023.

Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC 2023), the world’s premier Mineral Exploration & Mining Convention, is the leading convention for people, companies, and organizations in, or connected with, mineral exploration.

In addition to meeting exhibitors, investors, and attendees from over 150 countries, companies can also attend technical sessions, short courses, and network with the global mineral exploration and mining community. The three-day annual convention has grown in stature and influence since it began in 1932 and is the event of choice for the world’s mineral industry.

MISSION GOALS

ONB plans to lead a delegation of New Brunswick companies whose primary objectives will be to meet with Canadian and international mining companies to seek opportunities and projects to participate in, and/or services they can offer. The mission aims to showcase and promote the expertise and capabilities of New Brunswick companies looking to expand their business with key mining sector contacts and top-level mining executives.
