Premier Andrew Furey won’t be in the House of Assembly for the start of the spring sitting tomorrow.
Instead, he is in Toronto for the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) International Convention, Trade Show and Investors Exchange which runs until Wednesday.
Furey, who announced last week he is stepping down as premier, is addressing the Newfoundland and Labrador PDAC reception today and will provide a keynote address at Canada’s Atlantic Edge Program event on Tuesday.
This year there are over 25 mining and exploration companies, six prospectors, and almost a dozen service and supply companies with NL connections exhibiting and participating in a directed mining investment promotional program, as well as representatives from Indigenous governments and organizations.
PDAC is the world’s largest annual mining convention, attracting up to 30,000 attendees from over 100 countries, and representing mining and exploration companies, investment funds, consultants, suppliers, and governments.
NL has participated in the convention for over 40 years, collaborating with Mining Industry NL in the trade show and hosting several prospectors to aid in promoting the province’s projects to potential partners and investors.
