PDAC 2018 Day 2: Notes from the Floor
We’ve put together a visual round-up of some of the key events that took place on day two of this year’s PDAC convention in Toronto.
Day two of this year’s Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) conference just came to a close, and the Investing News Network (INN) kept busy with interviews and events, engaging with industry experts and investors in attendance.
If you missed anything at PDAC this year, don’t worry! The INN editorial team spoke with companies and industry specialists, and of course had the opportunity to view some of the many presentations the conference had to offer.
Below we’ve put together some highlights from day two. Scroll on to read more about what happened on the floor, and make sure to click here to check out what happened on day one.
We started the day with some great presentations, like this one with Feng Tao, vice president of Pangea Gold. Tao shared his thoughts on mining companies in China.

Another high note was a presentation by Michael Long of KPMG, where US President Donald Trump’s impact on mining firms was in the spotlight.
Michael Long of @KPMG discusses Trump’s US tax reform and how that impacts mining firms, says “if you’re a mining company the US looks very attractive right now.” Will be interesting to see how Canada and Mexico will respond. #PDAC2018 #INNatPDAC pic.twitter.com/WoQtapX30J
