Minerals South 2013 Conference

Minerals South 2013 represents the ninth iteration of this important regional mining conference, hosted by the East Kootenay Chamber of Mines in Cranbrook. The three-day event is structured as an active learning experience featuring short courses, workshops, field trips, and two full days of high-calibre presentations specifically focused on the geological advantages and mineralization potential of southern interior British Columbia. The conference alternates annually between the East and West Kootenay regions, with the previous year's event held in Nelson.

The event serves multiple stakeholder groups within the mining community, providing opportunities for presenters to share technical knowledge, exhibitors to showcase products and services, and attendees to network and learn about regional exploration opportunities. President Jason Jacob emphasizes the conference's role in highlighting the world-class geology and unique advantages that the East Kootenay region offers to the broader mining community. The interactive format encourages engagement and knowledge transfer among participants.

For mining companies and service providers, Minerals South offers a targeted marketing platform to reach mineral interests across British Columbia and Western Canada. The conference's regional focus makes it particularly valuable for companies operating in or considering expansion into the Kootenay mining districts. The event's reputation for featuring wide-ranging, high-quality presentations has established it as a key annual gathering for mining professionals in the region, providing insights into both current operations and future exploration potential in this geologically diverse area of British Columbia.
