Noteworthy events that took place Tuesday include the Panel Luncheon, and the ever-popular Mining Night, held at the Fairmont Royal York, a hotspot for PDAC events throughout the conference.

Finally, while there’s plenty of serious talk to be had at PDAC, you may still be interested in a fun souvenir. If that’s the case, consider stopping by McEwen Mining’s (TSX:MUX,NYSE:MUX) booth to get a picture with a bar of gold.

Alternatively, you might like to snap a picture with this “statue” — find him at or around the Chilean Pavilion.
