The Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) is set to welcome the world to Toronto for its 93rd annual Convention, taking place March 2-5, 2025, at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

As one of the World’s premier mineral exploration & mining conventions, the event unites thousands of participants – including industry leaders, mineral exploration and mining professionals, government representatives, investors, students and Indigenous communities – from around the globe.

“Now more than ever, our sector needs collaboration and innovation,” Raymond Goldie, PDAC President, said. “PDAC 2025 provides the perfect environment for people who are interested in mineral exploration and development to share ideas, forge new partnerships and champion responsible resource development. By embracing sustainability and cutting-edge technologies, we can help strengthen Canada’s economic resilience and shape a bright future for the entire mineral exploration and mining industry.”

The Trade Show and Investors Exchange at PDAC 2025 will feature over 1,100 exhibitors spanning more than 600,000 sq.ft (55,742 sq.m), showcasing state-of-the-art technologies, investment opportunities, and the latest developments in mineral exploration and mining, organisers say.

PDAC 2025 will also feature dynamic programming that addresses the most important issues and opportunities in the sector. Expert presenters and panelists will share insights on topics ranging from the global economic outlook and Indigenous partnerships, to sustainability, technological innovation and critical minerals. These sessions will provide participants with valuable perspectives and practical knowledge to navigate the rapidly evolving industry.

Throughout the convention, attendees can enjoy a variety of social events, including the Awards Gala & Nite Cap, which honours the 2025 PDAC Award recipients.
