About
Our collective objective is to develop productive and efficient ways of working with our industry and community partners, so that Manitoba becomes one of the most attractive places to invest in the mineral business. MPDA is a champion of “The New Green Economy” and is focused on improving the state of exploration and development of Critical Minerals in Manitoba.
MPDA is committed to furthering and supporting the minerals sector and the people and companies working in it. The work of the association, including its advocacy activities and programs, is funded solely from revenues derived from member fees and from our events. Being a member is a great way to network, learn about key topics affecting the industry, and shape the future of Manitoba’s mineral exploration and extraction.
