PDAC 2026 Canada-India Critical Minerals Annual Dialogue

The Canada-India Critical Minerals Annual Dialogue at PDAC 2026 represents a landmark initiative in bilateral resource cooperation between the two nations. This event will serve as the cornerstone for establishing long-term supply chain partnerships in critical minerals, building on the diplomatic reset that began at the G7 Summit in June 2025. The dialogue aims to create a 'market-plus' framework where Canadian upstream mining and processing capabilities are paired with Indian refining and manufacturing capacity. Attendees can expect detailed presentations on joint working groups, offtake agreements, and investment opportunities in Canadian mining projects. The event will also address the broader strategic context of supply chain diversification and economic security that drives this partnership. Industry executives, government officials, and investors from both countries will participate in sessions covering lithium, nickel, cobalt, copper, and uranium supply chains. This dialogue positions itself as a key forum for advancing the Canada-India minerals corridor and reducing both countries' dependence on Chinese supply chains while leveraging their complementary strengths in the global critical minerals market.
