Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada Conference

The 2026 PDAC Convention represents the mining industry's most significant annual gathering, maintaining its position as the world's leading mineral exploration and development conference since 1932. This year's event expects to attract over 27,000 participants and 2,500 investors from more than 125 countries, creating unparalleled networking and business development opportunities across the global mining sector. The convention features high-profile keynote speakers including Gustavo Pimenta, Don Lindsay, Mikko Tepponen, and Paul Bartos, who will address key industry challenges and opportunities facing the mining sector.

Attendees can expect comprehensive programming covering the full spectrum of mining activities, from early-stage exploration through production and environmental stewardship. The event serves as a critical platform for junior exploration companies to present their projects to potential investors, while major mining companies use the convention to announce strategic partnerships and developments. The extensive exhibition floor provides opportunities to engage with the latest mining technologies, services, and equipment innovations.

For Metalero Mining and other junior exploration companies, PDAC represents a vital opportunity to showcase recent exploration results and engage directly with the investment community. The company's booth 2849 will serve as a focal point for discussions about their Benson Project results and broader exploration strategy in the Quesnel Trough. The convention's timing, following Metalero's announcement of positive soil geochemistry results, positions the company well to capitalize on investor interest in copper-gold porphyry exploration in established mining districts.
