Overview

As the leading voice of the mineral exploration and development community, the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) represents more than 7,500 members, including a significant number of the 1,100+ public exploration and mining companies listed in Canada. PDAC’s work centres on supporting a competitive and responsible mineral sector. Its annual PDAC Convention in Toronto is the world's premier event for the minerals and mining industry, attracting more than 25,000 people from 135 countries in recent years.

Overview

Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and Microreactors, the most recent technological advancements in nuclear energy, will pioneer the commercial application of nuclear power in traditionally unserviceable markets, and pave the way for clean, resilient, affordable, baseload power, worldwide. Not only could SMRs replace grid-scale fossil fuel plants in Canada, but they could also enable lower-cost, zero-carbon, stable baseload power for Canada’s vast Northern industry, mines, and remote and Indigenous communities.

Overview

Moltex Energy was founded in the United Kingdom in 2014 on the belief that nuclear power should be leading in the fight against climate change, combined with a frustration that it wasn’t fulfilling this role to its full potential.

This led Moltex to molten salt reactors with their inherent safety features and to a simple (and now patented) design in which molten salt fuel is contained within conventional fuel pins. The design is both smaller in size than other reactors of similar power output and much less expensive to build and operate.

Overview

MIRARCO, or Mining Innovation, Rehabilitation, and Applied Research Corporation, has been providing innovative solutions for mining industry challenges and environmental research since our inception in 1998. We report to an independent Board of Directors, representing several companies in the sectors of mineral resources, services and supplies.

Overview

The Mining Association of Canada (MAC) is the national organization representing the Canadian mining industry, comprising companies engaged in mineral exploration, mining, smelting, refining and semi-fabrication. Our members account for most of Canada's production of base and precious metals, uranium, diamonds, steelmaking coal, and mined oil sands.

Overview

McMaster University is a student-centered, research-intensive university that consistently ranks among the world’s Top 100 schools. McMaster has maintained active research programs in nuclear science and engineering for more than 65 years, and has firmly established itself as a global leader in nuclear research, development, and commercialization.

Overview

The Earth’s climate is warming and climate change reform has become the nation’s core unifying issue. Canada has always taken a leadership role in developing new, clean energy by pioneering hydro and atomic power. The Mad Science Group believes deeply in preserving the earth for future generations and understands how Canadian science and ingenuity can continue to play the leading role. SMR’s represent opportunities to bring accessible, reliable and affordable energy to remote regions and elevate communities and their inhabitants in unimaginable ways.
