Mineral Week 2026 Forum: Strengthening Partnerships in Critical Mineral Exploration

This forum closes Manitoba Mineral Week by bringing together Indigenous leadership, government, industry, and community voices to focus on what needs to happen before exploration begins. It centers on early relationships, clear expectations, and practical steps to support responsible mineral development in Manitoba. Speakers will share perspectives on engagement, workforce readiness, and building trust at the earliest stages. The goal is to strengthen understanding across partners so projects can move forward in a way that reflects Indigenous priorities, community perspectives, industry realities, and long-term economic opportunity.
