The annual northwest symposium was held on April 4-6, 2017 at the Valhalla Inn in Thunder Bay.
Although the name has been changed from Northwestern Ontario Mines & Minerals Symposium to Ontario Prospectors Exploration Showcase, it is a similar event as before, only bigger and with a wider vision.
The Awards Banquet was held on the evening of Tuesday, April 4, 2017 and NWOPA is pleased to announce the recipients of our annual awards (click for details). These individuals and corporations have displayed excellence and success in the mining and exploration field. We congratulate them and wish them continued success. At the same event Lakehead University announced this years recipient of the Bernie Schnieders Memorial Award was Vittoria Smith.
This year represents the 100th anniversary of the first prospectors meeting held in Port Arthur with community pioneers such as Peter McKellar and others discussing mining and prospecting activities. For further information on the anniversary, see our Meeting Review in NWOPA’s winter Claimpost.
