    The 2018 Ontario Prospectors Exploration Showcase "Grassroots Prospects lead to New Mines!" highlighted exciting discoveries that continue to make Ontario one of the most attractive places in the world to explore!  The Ontario Prospectors Exploration Showcase is a unique conference bringing together prospectors, junior and senior company reps, government geologists and industry suppliers.
This focused networking event has been presented since 1996 and up until 2016 was known as the
NORTHWESTERN ONTARIO MINES AND MINERALS SYMPOSIUM.
     As in 2017, to highlight rocks and the geology of company projects the OPA had a Core Shack room. As well, prospectors delivered presentations and  displays amongst the companies and service providers.
The NWOPA awards banquet was held on the evening of Tuesday April 3, 2018 at which time, individuals and companies that have displayed excellence and success in the mining and exploration field were honoured.
     At the same event Lakehead University announced this years recipient of the Bernie Schnieders Memorial Award.
