From March 1st to 4th, Kinross Gold attended the 2026 Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada’s (PDAC) 94th annual convention in Toronto, Canada.
The convention, recognized as the leading global gathering for the mineral exploration and mining industry, brings together over 27,000 attendees ranging from investors, developers, geoscientists, government officials, students and Indigenous community members. The event provides a platform for education, networking and business development with over 1,300 exhibits and 700 presentations.
This year, Kinross Gold hosted a booth in the Investors Exchange to provide an opportunity for attendees to learn more about our exciting operations and development projects, Sustainability goals, and long-term plans for the Company.
Ontario’s Minister of Energy and Mines, Stephen Lecce, and his delegation visited the booth to meet with Eric Lamontagne, Senior Advisor, Canada Projects, and Christine Petch, Vice-President and Project Director, Great Bear, and discussed the Great Bear project and the next generation of mining opportunities, jobs and investment in Red Lake, Ontario.
Outside of the Investors Exchange, Max Combes, Senior Vice-President, Strategic Growth, Chile, presented during ‘Chile Day’ on Kinross’ presence in the country, specifically through our La Coipa, Lobo-Marte and Maricunga assets. The presentation focused on the development of Lobo-Marte and the ongoing government and community consultations as the project advances towards future production. In addition to Max’s presentation at Chile Day, Kinross Tasiast hosted a roundtable discussion at the convention focused on sustainable mining and decarbonization in Africa aimed at creating dialogue to further strengthen responsible mining in the country.
Finally, representatives from Kinross Gold attended Lakehead University’s breakfast session where the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation (NOHFC) and the Federal Economic Development Agency for Northern Ontario (FedNor) announced a $1.4 million investment to advance mining and mineral exploration research at the University. Kinross is a proud contributor to the initiative, which aims to better understand the gold resource at Great Bear, while also targeting new, economically viable mineral deposits to support the development of future mines.
A special ‘thank you’ to all prospectors, developers, investors, Indigenous community members, government officials and other stakeholders who we connected with during PDAC 2026. We look forward to connecting again at PDAC 2027!
