miningexpoThe Big Event Mining Expo is almost here.

Officials all gathered at the McIntyre Arena to talk about the festivities, and gave media an inside look.

All your favourites will return, including equipment demos, a prospecting workshop and the always exciting Jackleg Drilling competitions.

A delegation from India will also be on hand.

New this year will be an offsite demo, a simulated junior mining camp where you’ll be able to fly in on a helicopter or bus every half hour on the hour.

The Mining Expo runs Wednesday, May 27th from 10am to 6pm and Thursday, May 28th from 9am to 4pm.
