Mineral Commodities of Northern BC: Why we have them, how they are developed, and uses in everyday life.

Celebrate mining week and join us in welcoming Paul Jago to our Speaker Series Luncheons! Get an update on the mineral development sector, as well as brief review of mines and major projects.

Paul will take us on a "guided tour" as he explains the metal, coal, and industrial mineral commodities that are explored for and developed in BC, including their use in value-added products. Discover location and uniqueness of these mineral deposits as they relate to the geological history of the province.
