PDAC announces 2024 Award Recipients

 

 

 

 

 

The Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) is honoured to announce that five outstanding groups have been selected to receive 2024 PDAC Awards. Since 1977, the annual PDAC Awards have recognized exemplary individuals, teams, and companies for their significant accomplishments in mineral exploration and development.

 

“The 2024 recipients continue the 46-year tradition of excellence in the PDAC Awards,” said Raymond Goldie, PDAC President. “Their successes are an inspiration and demonstrate the expertise, ingenuity, and determination needed to find the minerals that are essential to modern life. Our awards recipients also show that, both in Canada and world-wide, mineral explorers and developers are practising innovative and effective approaches to community engagement and sustainability.”

 

Recipients will be celebrated at the Awards Gala and Nite Cap at the Fairmont Royal York in Toronto on March 5, during the PDAC 2024 Convention. Ticket sales open in December at the PDAC website.
