PDAC CONVENTION 2012: Mining Industry’s Leading Investment Show Open to Public, Admission is Free

Toronto, February 27, 2012—The Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada’s (PDAC) Investors Exchange—the leading investment show dedicated solely to the mineral industry—takes place in Toronto, March 4 - 7, 2012, and is open to the general public. The Investors Exchange features over 600 exhibitors including junior exploration companies, mid-size producers, major mining companies, stock exchanges, brokers and financial institutions with mining interests, and prospectors.
“The PDAC Investors Exchange gives an insider’s look at opportunities for business development, joint ventures, property acquisitions and financing within the mineral sector,” says PDAC President Scott Jobin-Bevans. “We see a steady flow of banking executives, brokers and analysts, fund managers, government representatives, retail and institutional investors, senior mining executives, and students attending the Exchange. It’s really a not-to-be-missed event for anyone interested in the sector.”
The Corporate Presentation Forum for Investors, a series of presentations made by a select group of Investors Exchange exhibitors, provides up-to-the-minute information on the investment potential of companies in the mineral industry. Over 130 presenters, including Rob McEwen of McEwen Mining and Jonathan Goodman of Dundee Precious Metals, are scheduled to speak at this year’s forum.
The Investors Exchange, which runs concurrently with the PDAC Convention’s Trade Show, also includes the Prospectors Tent featuring maps, samples and claim results of independent prospectors, and the Core Shack featuring core samples from the latest mineral discoveries from around the world.
