ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú and TSX Venture Exchange are patron sponsors

March 5, 2021 (TORONTO, ON) – TMX Group, the global exchange leader in mining, is pleased to support the 2021 Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada's (PDAC) Annual Convention, taking place virtually from March 8-11. ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú (TSX) and TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV), home to approximately half of the world's public mining companies, will mark this year's event with a series of virtual market opens and closes throughout the week featuring delegations from key international mining jurisdictions.

"The annual PDAC convention is the world's largest mining conference and a premier event that ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú and TSX Venture Exchange look forward to each year. It's an opportunity for companies, investors and government policy makers from around the world to come together," said Loui Anastasopoulos, President, Capital Formation & Enterprise Marketing Officer, TMX Group. "While current conditions preclude us from hosting the global mining community in Toronto this year, important dialogue continues and representatives from our exchanges will be active participants in the virtual sessions. We continue to support industry efforts to move the mining sector forward in a way that balances social and environmental issues with access to critical metallic commodities that support the global economy."

In addition to the virtual market open and close ceremonies, the Exchanges will participate in country-specific events, including the Brazilian-Canada Chamber of Commerce and Peru-Canada Chamber of Commerce mining panels/forums, the MineAfrica seminar, PDAC official programs, as well as a Capital Pool Company program presentation at the TSX/TSXV virtual booth and an Ontario Securities Commission technical short course.
