About the event

Building on the success of the fully booked Raw Materials Week 2025 side event in Brussels, Geological Survey Organisations and the Mineral Resources Industry are joining forces once again, this time at PDAC 2026. This event will provide a dedicated platform to showcase Europe’s latest pre-competitive geoscience, emerging exploration and mining projects, and relevant funding opportunities from selected European countries.

Event highlights

  • Country Showcases: Each featured country will be highlighted through an advanced exploration project, geological survey insights showing how national data supports exploration success, and an overview of relevant funding opportunities.
  • Networking and Collaboration: Connect directly with geological surveys, project developers, investors, and policymakers involved in Europe’s mineral resources landscape and explore collaboration opportunities.

Why participate?

  • Gain first-hand access to Europe’s latest projects, datasets, and funding schemes
  • Gain strategic insights into how countries are unlocking mineral potential
  • Build connections with representatives from surveys, industry, finance, and policy

Please note this is an invitation-only event.
