Ontario companies a unique opportunity to meet directly with key mining stakeholders and industrial global conglomerates based in India. Meetings will mostly take place in the companies' head offices, though we may be able to arrange a site visit dependant on the delegation composition and local approvals.
The Mining Mazma conference is a mining and exploration convention and trade show hosted by the Federation of
Indian Mineral Industries (FIMI). The 2014 event will take place in Bangalore, India, and is supported by the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) , the Geological Society of India and the Indian Ministry of Mines. The event is focused on mining exploration, mine planning and development of non-fuel minerals. The venue provides a great opportunity to engage with public and private sector executives from both India and international companies. The
Canadian delegates would participate in a business session addressing the convention delegates.
