In search of avenues to gain a greater share of the global mining industry market, Green Technology Solutions, through its partner CCI Capital, examined new deal flow and evaluated the latest advancements in the sector at the annual conference of the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC).
Held annually for over 80 years, the PDAC International Convention, Trade Show & Investors Exchange is recognized as the world’s leading mineral exploration and development industry event. Last week’s expo in Toronto featured approximately 2,500 new deals with over 25,000 attendees and more than 1,000 exhibitors from approximately 125 countries.
After gathering intelligence at the expo, CCI Capital briefed GTSO executives on the innovative methods Canadian industry leaders are utilizing for sustainable mineral exploration and development.
“The PDAC is the premier event to network and gauge the opportunity for new deals,” GTSO CEO Paul Watson said. “The global mining and minerals industry is poised to make gains, and GTSO is excited about the possibilities that were presented at the PDAC.”
Urban mining is pivotal to GTSO’s vision to compete alongside major international corporations striving for sustainable waste solutions, such as Covanta Holding Corporation (NYSE: CVA), Industrial Services of America (NASDAQ: IDSA) and Sims Metal Management Ltd. (NYSE: SMS). Late last year, GTSO acquired the company Global Cell Buyers and soon after rebranded the company as Green Urban Mining to handle its domestic recycling and resale operations.
