August Conference on Mining and Energy
This shindig is, my friends, the Real Deal:
Archie Lang, our own Minister of Mines and Energy, will co-chair the conference
with the Hon. Gary Lunn, Canada's Minister of National Resources for Canada. Lunn's parliamentary website is here, but there is a more inclusive entry at wikipedia, here.
There will be 4 presentations, by people who know what they are talking about:
"Building on Canada's Global Mining Advantage", by the CEO of the Toronto Stock Exchange Group (in business logo language,
"TSX"), Richard Nesbitt. It seems that the TSX Group "operates Canada's two national stock exchanges serving the senior equity and public
venture captical equity markes, as well as NGX, a leading North American exchange for the trading and clearing of natural
gass and electrity contracts...."
Submission from the Mining Association of Canada, presented by its Chairman, Derek Pannell
This association, originally called "Canadian Metal Mining Association", was incorporated in 1935. Its mission statement declares that "MAC's mission is to promote, through the collective action of members, the growth and development of Canada's mining and mineral-processing industry, for the benefit of all Canadians. Derek Pannell, CEO of Falconbridge, was elected
Chairman of MAC in June, 2006.
Submission from the President of the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada, Patricia Dillon. This organization (est 1932) has 5,000 members, including 630 corporate members. It concentrates on advocacy, education and information, in order to ensure a robust Canadian mining industry. Patricia Dillon has - among other things - Managed the Corporate
Relations of Teck Corporation; and has been president of PADAC since its inception in 1997. She was chair of the Ontario Mining Association First nations Video Task Force that developed the "Mining New Opportunities" resource for Aboriginal communities.
