Innovation is a cornerstone of the mining industry, and this year, that reaches down to how the annual Timmins mining expo can be held, despite COVID-19.
Glen Dredhart is president of Timmins-based Canadian Trade-Ex. It has developed what it calls the Virtex virtual trade show platform. It makes its debut June 2nd and 3rd during Mining Week. The theme is “Mining the Abitibi Greenstone Belt”.
“We felt traditionally the majority of our attendees when it came to the mining companies would participate from around Northern Ontario and Northwestern Quebec,” Dredhart states.
