PDAC 2019 - International Convention, Trade Show & Investors Exchange | Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada | 3 March 2019 | Metro Toronto Convention Centre, 255 Front St W, Toronto, ON M5V 2W6, Canada

The Capital Markets Program is intended to create a forum for a dialogue on a range of topics related to the financing of mineral exploration. Access to capital is the lifeblood of the mineral exploration industry.

Canada’s capital markets play a critical role in supporting the financing of mineral exploration in Canada and around the world. As the national voice for the Canadian exploration industry, the PDAC conducts research to ensure Canada’s capital markets facilitate capital raising simply, affordably and effectively. The PDAC also advocates for Canadian jurisdictions to adopt fiscal and positive regulatory environments that make Canada an attractive place to explore.
