A media must

Mineral Exploration Roundup is a must for industry media to hear from experts across the mineral exploration and development sector sharing information on the latest Canadian and global discoveries, geoscience, health and safety issues, corporate social responsibility, and commodities trends.

Hosted by the Association for Mineral Exploration British Columbia (AME BC), the theme this year is Resources for Life: Digging Deeper”.
