PDAC Conference 2023 on March 5-8 in Toronto
Prospectors and Developers Association Convention (PDAC).
It is time again for Toronto’s world renowned mining conference to take place for 2023!
Last year (2022) as society in general was still battling the pandemic, the conference was postponed from the usual date and held in the middle of June. Thankfully we are able to attend in March this year, the usual time slot over the years.
Therefore we are able to relay to our readers that the official PDAC date is March 05-08, 2023.
Fortunately for the industry as noted in a recent article on the Canadian Junior Report, the sector seems to have risen from a low in collective market cap/share price since October 2022.
This has certainly cheered on investors and spurred even more intense exploration efforts from participants. Especially important since there seems to be no end to the demand for traditional metals plus a need for various ‘new’ minerals used in the technological society of the modern world.
With the usual blend of exploration companies, service providers, equipment manufacturers and financiers, we expect this years PDAC to be as busy as any previous years with much business transacted.
There will be many talks, meetings, educational events, awards and a refreshing beverage or two will be shared as participants from all over the globe congregate.
We hope to see you there!
The official address is the Metro Convention Center, North Building location located at 255 Front Street West, two blocks west of York Street.
The South Building entrance is located at 222 Bremner Boulevard, one block north of Lakeshore Boulevard, west of York Street.

Romios announces appointment of new CEO Stephen Burega
It looks like an exciting new day for Romios with the appointment of Stephen Burega as CEO!
Mr Burega was formerly serving as President of Romios.
Press Release announcing appointment.
Tom Drivas who founded the company approximately 27 years ago is stepping down. Mr. Drivas has assembled what we see as an impressive assembly of land claim packages over the years, with a significant deal being done with Enduro Resources a few years ago on several of their B.C. Golden Triangle claims.
The company plans to focus on Nevada moving forward.
“Plans are currently underway to move the Company’s assets forward with a focussed effort to streamline our approach and to bring our Nevada assets to the forefront of future exploration activities. We are actively looking for strong partnerships for our core assets in British Columbia and Ontario. All exploration activities will be supported with a well-developed communications and marketing effort that began in early 2022 to re-introduce the Company to the investing marketplace.”
With the recent addition of highly experienced geologist Joh Biczok we are seeing this as a very exciting next stage of development for Romios. Mr. Biczok has close to 40 years of experience and is a registered Professionial Geoscientist in Ontario
Mr Biczok spent 12 years conductiong research and exploration at the Goldcorp Musselwhite Mine most recently as senior exploration geologist and senior research geologist.
Stay tuned for more exciting developments from Romios, a very well positioned exploration junior.
PDAC 2022 is live!
Lots of action happening this year with hundreds of exploration companies set up on the exhibition side and the PDAC trade show section full of the usual service providers.
Expecting attendance to pick up tomorrow on the floor. There are many juniors in a great position to gain market cap value it would appear since the whole sector in general has been sliding for months and months it seems.
What they call ‘the fluff’ has really been gone from the sector for a long time because of the extended bear market in junior mineral exploration in general, with juniors such as Scottie Resources Corp. (SCOT-TSXV trading at .18 cents) displaying some really impressive drill results at their Golden Triangle properties. Results are showing very good consistency and talking to their CEO gives one a sense that he is going to get the job done properly.
More to come from PDAC 2022…
