Financial Post – Investors have lost a lot of money in mining companies the past few months, but they still seem interested in finding the next big winner.
About 300 investors are expected for BMO Capital Markets’ annual global mining conference, which began yesterday in Florida and continues through Wednesday. The event, which attracts senior management from most of the world’s major mining companies, drew about 365 investors last year, so there is not much of a drop-off.
Likewise, next week’s Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada conference in Toronto is expected to draw another huge crowd.
