CERBA Conference at PDAC Convention

The CERBA conference at PDAC represents a significant annual gathering that has grown substantially over its 13-year history, evolving from a small roundtable discussion into a major two-day event within PDAC's official programming. The conference serves as a crucial bridge between Canadian mining interests and opportunities in Russia and Eurasia, addressing widespread misconceptions about foreign investment restrictions and showcasing successful case studies like Kinross Gold Corporation's operations in Russia. The event caters to multiple audience segments including Canadian mature and junior miners seeking to expand into Russian and Eurasian markets, equipment and service providers looking for customers, and foreign delegates seeking Canadian partners and investors. Joint support from Canadian government agencies including DFAIT, NRCan, EDC, and AANDC alongside CERBA's private sector members underscores the strategic importance of these trade relationships. The conference provides attendees with authoritative information directly from relevant sources, access to policy makers and decision makers, and opportunities to participate in bilateral dialogues through initiatives like the Canada-Russia Mining Working Group, making it an essential event for anyone interested in the dynamic and growing natural resources markets across the region.
