MAMI Assumes Leadership of CCME Convention Going Forward

MAMI, the Mining Association of Manitoba Inc. announced today that it would be taking over the reigns of CCMEC – the Central Canada Mineral Exploration Convention in 2024. 

“Over the past several years, Jeff Young, Laura Winter, and the steering committee have worked tirelessly to rebuild CCMEC. This year’s success and attendance are the culmination of all of their hard work and the entire industry owes them a debt of gratitude,” said Stacy Kennedy, president of MAMI, and Head of Manitoba Operations, Vale. 

“MAMI too has been in a rebuilding stage, and now, we are committed to doing more: we’re ready to take on the responsibility of leading the promotion of our critical mineral and metals sector” said Kennedy 

“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.”
