“With that, I’m very excited to announce that MAMI will be taking the reigns and running the Central Canada Mineral Exploration Convention going forward,” Kennedy said during the opening of this year’s convention at the Victoria Inn Hotel & Convention Centre, in Winnipeg before a large crowd including Minister Jamie Moses – the province’s new Minister of Economic Development, Investment, Trade and Natural Resources. “We’re committed to a strong future for this convention and its unique role in growing our mining sector.”
According to Kennedy, the mining industry in Manitoba is heading into an unprecedented time of exploration. “We are on the cusp of a critical minerals boom, and Manitoba is poised to be a world leader at this time.”
