PDAC 2008 - Hernan Martinex Torres, Minister of Mines and Energy, Republic of Columbia. We discussed the state of manpower fulfillments at the mines in Columbia. Mr. Torres responded in depth how the mining companies themselves had very effective training facilities in place and required little foreign assistance. I was impressed with the emphasis placed on the legal stability, & overall improvements of the investment environment. Add to this that the country is still very much largely unexplored. There were about two hundred people at the presentation session. I listened in to talk of Columbia's promising mineral potential for platinum, gold, silver & emeralds, to name a few. Representatives from the key players such as Rio Tinto, Angloamerican & Glencore (Xtrata) and seven others whom I met, were all in attendance. The matchmaking session & cocktail were effectively presented.

PDAC 2008 - Taken after extensive conversations with The Honourable Michael Gravelle, Ontario Minister, Ministry of Northern Development and Mines. Topics included the role that Mining Publications International has undertaken to assist the Supply community in Ontario.The Minister expressed a great deal of interest in our innovative promotional programs that include Canada Issues in the SME's "Mining Engineering" monthly publication and assisting almost one hundred Canadian exhibitors in 2007 and 2008 to SME shows. A colleague of ours set up Canada Pavilions that attracted so many mine operators & plant superintendents that the Minister remarked, that I should keep in touch with his office to update him on our other 2008 innovations. He was happy with the many Ontario suppliers who we had helped & he pledged his assistance to our efforts to promote Ontario as the Canadian province of mining innovations.

PDAC 2008 - David Paul Achneepineskum, Chief Executive Officer, Matawa First Nations. Our talk revolved around several issues including respecting the internal affaires of their indigenous government. As was noted in "Mining Engineering" in April of 2007, he also agreed that outside forces should not get involved in internal band conflicts. Also that jobs are important and that mutually beneficial relationships with his community are essential. The truth must be spoken. |
