Fisher, look over the PDAC schedual on line and you can see what events you might want to take in. Registration is free on line so do that as you can print out a bar code and bring with you which well save you alot of time. I guess the free pass well let you visit most companies but you would be excluded from some areas of presentations. I found that alot of hotels are already book as the PDAC attracts the Global mining , financial , and trade Industries. I will be their on 7,8 & 9, lets arrange something for the Green = Belt clan, I hear Hot Muck is paying for supper...Traps7
