Developers Association of Canada, the Geological Association of Canada, the National Geological Surveys Her PhD thesis involves new regional bedrock mapping Committee, the Canadian Geological Foundation, and in an underexplored part of the south-central Rae craton, Watts, Griffis and McOuat Ltd. in the Tehery Lake-Wager Bay area of northwestern Hudson’s Bay, Nunavut. Holly is determining the areas Application details are posted at www.pdac.ca and regional tectonometamorphic history as recorded by www.gac.ca by October 1 every year. supracrustal rocks. She will use the results to evaluate the character, timing, and duration of metamorphic processes that developed in this area associated with the 1.86-1.83 Ga Trans-Hudson orogeny. Holly will receive her award at GAC-MAC 2017 to be held May 14 – 17 in Kingston, Ontario. The award, comprising $5,000 and a certificate, is given annually and honours the memory of Mary-Claire Ward who died in 2004. Mary-Claire was the chair of the PDAC’s Geoscience committee, Chairman of Watts Griffis McOuat Ltd., and a Past President of the Geological Association of Canada. She was a passionate advocate for the geosciences in Canada. The intent of the award is to encourage and support a graduate student in Canada whose thesis contributes to our knowledge about the geological history of Canada. Mapping must be a significant component of the winning thesis.
MENTORING
MENTORING PROGRAM
As the geoscience community grows, there is a need to provide guidance and support to recent graduates. An important part of this support structure is mentorship.
PDAC has launched a program that gives members an opportunity to share their vast knowledge and experiences with students and recent graduates, some of whom will be future industry leaders.
Our mentoring program connects participants through meaningful relationships. This allows our experienced members to share their industry knowledge, and for mentees to comfortably enter into industry roles. Respect and understanding is emphasized in creating a fulfilling partnership, resulting in a more diverse and a more welcoming community.
To volunteer as a mentor or to participate as a mentee, please visit our website pdac.ca/students/mentorship

Major metallogenic terranes are known to be important locations for a variety of mineral deposit styles and commodities. As explorers are challenged to find more and better quality deposits, it is becoming critical to understand these settings in more detail than has been done in the past. High quality, pre-competitive geophysical data sets that can be used to assist in terrane assessments are increasingly available in a number of locations around the world. The workshop will highlight where these data sets are becoming available and provide some suggestions as to how these data sets can be used to best advantage.

INVESTORS EXCHANGE
Sponsored by Welcome to PDAC
On behalf of all of us in the Base Metals business at Vale, allow me to welcome you to Canada, to Toronto and to the 2017 Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada annual convention. Each year at this time, the mining world converges on Toronto to share opportunities, accomplishments and challenges in a unique collaborative setting. Vale is proud to be a part of it again this year as a sponsor of the Investors Exchange. We encourage you to visit and say hello at the Vale booth. Our industry has had its shares of up and downs with the price cycle. The last few years have been difficult ones for many commodities — but through it all we have maintained our focus on improving safety, increasing efficiencies and delivering value to our stakeholders. We can be proud of what we’ve accomplished and look forward to reaching even greater heights as the markets stabilize and strengthen. In the meantime, I wish you all a wonderful experience as you share with and learn from your industry colleagues from around the world. Regards,
Jennifer Maki Executive Director, Vale Base Metals Chief Executive Officer, Vale in Canada Ni
Did you know that our operations in Sudbury, Canada, refine enough ore to make 8.3 billion nickel coins a year? And that’s just the beginning.
PDAC is a time to learn as much as we can from each other. Let’s take every opportunity to do so.
