The day will include panel discussions and presentations including top industry leaders on Tuesday, the provincial government said.
“With our abundant resources, stable regulatory framework and attractive incentive programs, Saskatchewan is one of the best jurisdictions in the world for resource development, and we are excited to tell that story at PDAC,” Chris Beaudry, Saskatchewan’s minister of energy and resources, said in a statement.
“Our core mineral sectors of potash, uranium, and gold are growing while base metals, lithium and rare earths are advancing quickly. We can keep this momentum going at PDAC through relationship building and connecting with current partners and potential investors.”
The government said the Ministry of Energy and Resources will host an exhibit at PDAC along with the Ministry of Trade and Export Development and the Saskatchewan Research Council.
“With an anticipated 27,000 attendees at PDAC this year, Saskatchewan will have numerous opportunities to highlight its exploration and mining potential. Government officials are scheduled to meet with national and international delegates to discuss opportunities for investment and resource development in the province,” said the ministry.
Saskatchewan leads the world in producing potash and helium and is the second largest uranium producer, the ministry of energy and resources noted, adding that Saskatchewan also leads Canada in mining investment, with an estimated $7 billion spent in 2025.
“By the end of 2026, Saskatchewan is expected to have commercial production of six critical minerals: potash, uranium, helium, copper, zinc and lithium,” said the ministry.
According to the Fraser Institute, Saskatchewan ranks third globally for mining investment attractiveness.
