CORRECTING and REPLACING -- AME's Roundup Concludes with a Look Ahead at New Opportunities for Mineral Exploration in Western Canada


VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In a release issued under the same headline earlier today by The Association for Mineral Exploration, please note in the third paragraph of the release, the quote belongs to Dale Mah, not David Gale as previously stated. The corrected release follows:

The Association for Mineral Exploration's 2020 Roundup conference concluded on Thursday, January 23, closing out a week of cross-industry collaboration, exciting announcements, and innovative programming from the industry's leading voices. This included new data released by Geoscience BC with the potential of driving mineral exploration investment on northern Vancouver Island, as well as insights into the new UNDRIP legislation and applications for BC's mineral exploration and mining industry.

Held at the Vancouver Convention Centre East on the shared traditional territory of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples, the 37th annual conference brought together more than 6,000 delegates from 38 countries, representing industry, government, First Nations, investors, and suppliers. With the core theme of "Lens on Discovery" and an eye on the newest trends, Roundup 2020 focused on showcasing projects that represent the passion, skill, and innovation of BC's modern mineral exploration industry.

"Now in its 37th year, AME's Mineral Roundup continues to bring together our industry's thought leaders and stakeholders to share their successes, challenges, and lessons learned in an open and collaborative format," said AME Roundup Organizing Committee Chair Dale Mah. "A special thanks to our sponsors, exhibitors, delegates, speakers, and volunteers whose support and commitment is integral to the continued success of our flagship event."

Highlights from the 2020 Mineral Exploration Roundup include:

"Through Roundup, AME is proud to offer a space that cultivates dialogue and collaboration for the long-term benefit of BC's modern mineral exploration industry," said AME President and CEO Kendra Johnston. "Roundup continues to serve as a driving force for exploration in Western Canada and we value the opportunity to bring members and delegates together around the key issues that are affecting our industry today. We recognize that Roundup takes place on the unceded territories of the Coast Salish people and are grateful for the opportunity to convene our meetings here. We also acknowledge the ongoing support of our patron sponsor Teck Resources Limited for its commitment to AME and our industry."

AME's Roundup conference will return to the Vancouver Convention Centre East under the sails of Canada Place from January 18 to 21, 2021.
