MinEx CRC CEO Andrew Bailey and Drilling Manager Cameron Jackson are in Toronto this week at Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) 2026, the world’s leading mineral exploration and mining convention (and braving -14 degrees!).

They valued hearing Vale CEO Gustavo Pimenta keynote on day 1 on the critical role mining plays globally – particularly in enabling future economies and the energy transition.

PDAC is also a key opportunity to connect directly with industry leaders. Andrew and Cam met with MinEx participants, including Major Drilling, to see how MinEx Project 1 fluid automation systems under Masood Mostofi are now being deployed on drill rigs around the world – clear evidence of MinEx research delivering real‑world impact

By advancing new drilling technologies, real‑time data and analytics, MinEx CRC is helping transform how exploration is done – reducing risk, improving efficiency and supporting more sustainable discovery beneath cover.

If you’re at PDAC, connect with the team and talk exploration, innovation and what comes next.
