W I N T E R 2 0 1 4 37 2015 ROUNDUP PREVIEW Welcome to Mineral Exploration Roundup 2015! This year's conference marks an important milestone for Roundup as we move into our new home at the Vancouver Convention Centre East. Every January, AME BC's Mineral Exploration Roundup conference in Vancouver brings together prospectors, geoscientists, investors, suppliers and those interested in the mineral exploration industry. And over the past 31 years of the conference, Roundup's value to the mineral exploration community has increased. Mineral exploration has always been rooted in prospecting and geoscientists. However, over time, declining commodity reserves, increasing competition for investment dollars, and awareness of the need to build a social licence with Aboriginal Peoples and communities have all presented opportunities – and every year, Roundup is a venue to keep up to date on new best practices and solutions. Mineral Exploration Roundup 2015, with its theme "Intelligent Exploration," will highlight our renowned Technical Sessions, Core Shack, Prospectors' Tent and Map Tent, where you will learn about the latest discoveries and the strategies used to uncover mineral deposits. New this year are our best- practice Show Case Sessions, which will underscore the growing importance to our industry of Aboriginal engagement, corporate social responsibility, health and safety, land access and use, human resources and government relations. We also encourage you to take part in special events including our new Discovery Day, featuring public-interest talks relating to our industry and activities for the whole family. Finally, we invite you to enjoy our expanded exhibit hall, various networking events and the always-popular short courses and field trips where you will build lasting contacts with colleagues and suppliers. Join us at AME BC's Mineral Exploration Roundup 2015: Intelligent Exploration, from January 26 to 29, 2015, under the Canada Place sails at the Vancouver Convention Centre East.
