Oromin attending Mining INDABA and PDAC
I stopped by the office earlier today and I was amazed to find out how busy things are behind the scenes. Oromin will be attending Mining INDABA again this year.
“The world’s largest gathering of miners, explorers, project developers, mining analysts, fund managers, investment specialists, financiers and many other professions will reconvene from 9-12 February 2009 in Cape Town, South Africa. Don’t miss 2009’s signature forum for mining industry opinion-shapers!”
Last year was attendance was a sell-out, with delegates turning up in record numbers. If I remember correctly, Oromin’s Press kits were gone in the first day!
Oromin is also attending the PDAC in Toronto Mar 1 to 4th
The Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) represents the interests of the Canadian mineral exploration and development industry. The association was established in 1932 in response to a proposed government regulation that threatened the livelihood of Ontario prospectors. A brief history of the association is available here. Today, 76 years after its founding, the association is a national organization with 6,000 individual members (including prospectors, developers, geoscientists, consultants, mining executives, and students, as well as those involved in the drilling, financial, investment, legal and other support fields) and 950 corporate members (including senior, mid-size and junior mining companies and organizations providing services to the mineral industry).
The work of the association is guided by the following mission statement:
The PDAC exists to protect and promote the interests of the Canadian mineral exploration sector and to ensure a robust mining industry in Canada. The PDAC will encourage the highest standards of technical, environmental, safety and social practices in Canada and internationally.
