    2019 – CCMEC Convention

    Back to the Rocks!

    NOVEMBER 18th – 19th, 2019

    Expanded to a 2-day event, the theme for this year was “Back to the Rocks”, focusing on bringing central Canada’s mineral exploration industry back to its roots by facilitating direct links between prospectors, companies, government, academia, communities, Indigenous Peoples, and investors.

    Our diverse technical sessions include globally renowned speakers and central Canada heavyweights, headlined by keynote speakers Rex Murphy, a social commentator for CBC, and Doug Silver, portfolio manager for Orion Mine Finance.
