The mining supply and service sector had an opportunity to learn about new projects in Timmins on Thursday.
The Timmins Economic Development Corporation and MineConnect hosted a forum to showcase the city’s role as a mining hub.
The Timmins Economic Development Corporation and MineConnect collaborated for the first time to host a mini mining forum.
Sixty delegates representing both northern and southern Ontario participated in the one-day event at the McIntyre Community Centre.
Kristofer Cacciotti, global business development manager for NSS Canada, a company in Sudbury that developed a miner-operated survey system, was interested in learning more about Galleon Gold’s West Cache project.
“I’m in sales and sales is relationships,” said Cacciotti.
“There’s nothing better for relationships than meeting in person, sharing a beverage, eating a meal together, shaking a firm handshake, really building that foundation from the ground up.”
This was the first time the Timmins Economic Development Corp. (TEDC) and MineConnect have collaborated.
