A Historic Week for Global Mining at PDAC 2026!

At PDAC 2026, the world's largest mining conference, we witnessed the powerful resurgence of investor interest as retail, institutional, and sovereign wealth funds have returned to the sector. With record-breaking attendance—the highest in PDAC's 94-year history—the world's premier mining convention proved that the global appetite for mineral exploration has never been stronger. The conference attracted a record 32,000+ participants from the global exploration and mining community, with around 300 TSX/TSXV-listed companies hosting booths in the Exhibit Hall.

At Toronto Stock Exchange and TSX Venture Exchange, we are proud to be the global home for mining finance. And at the same last week as the PDAC Conference, the S&P/TSX Composite Index announced the addition of 5 new mining companies, further cementing the sector's importance to the Canadian capital markets. In addition, the mining sector's combined market capitalization on the TSX/TSXV officially pushed past the $1 trillion mark.

Throughout the week, our teams were on the ground facilitating the connections that help move the mining sector forward:

Issuer Recognition at the Exhibit Hall: Connecting with our issuers on the floor at our booth, and visiting our listed issuers who had their booths to provide them with a special gift to proudly display their listing with us.

Industry Interviews: Interviewing our incredible issuers and connecting with the leaders driving this industry forward. See the action here and here!

TSX & TSXV Cocktail Reception: Networking at our signature PDAC Party, bringing together issuers, major market stakeholders, and our team.

Market Celebrations: Coordinating market celebrations for issuers who are newly listed, graduates from the TSXV to the TSX, and a series of special opens celebrating global mining government officials and stakeholders.

Government & Issuer Roundtables: We welcomed 10 international governments from key mining jurisdictions for high-level discussions with TSX and TSXV issuers. The focus? Balancing social, environmental, and economic factors to ensure sustainable growth across global jurisdictions.

Connecting Projects to Capital: Our team of geologists screened high-potential mining projects, coordinating targeted meetings with CPC Founders, bankers, and deal-makers to bridge the gap between international projects and Canadian capital.

Financial Collaboration: We hosted strategic dialogues between the international and Canadian banking sectors, fostering new collaborations and "win-win" opportunities between Canada and other global banking centers to fund the mining sector.

Canada's role as the global leader in the mining sector has never been more critical than it is right now.
