conference in 1989 was the realization that meetings of
this sort are of benefit to everyone. Since that first
conference, more job openings have become available to
Northwest residents. Many area businesses have been
able to tap into mining activity in the Northwest. And
the mining industry itself has found an advantage in
the availability of local supplies, services and labour.

With Minerals North 1989, a process of information
exchange on mining and related activities had begun
and the value of that process was obvious. Also obvious
was the need to continue that process for the mutual
benefit of everyone. The following year, therefore, a
similar but much improved conference was scheduled
for Smithers.

In Smithers, a sold-out trade show was a winner
with both the industry and the general public; as a
result a trade show will be added to agendas in years to
come.

Stewart hosted Minerals North 1991. Facilities
there made it necessary to scale down the trade show
somewhat, but a few other innovative features were
added to the venue and this helped set the agenda for
Minerals North 1992 in Terrace.

Minerals North 1992 begins at 6 p.m. on Thursday,
April 23, with a reception and registration session at the
Terrace arena. This will give trade show delegates,
industry representatives, and conference VIPs an
opportunity to get to know one another and help set the
mood for the two days of activity to follow.

The following day’s activities will begin with an
overview of the mining industry in general. The present

state of the industry will be discussed,.along with issues

affecting’ present and future mining operations. This will
be followed by presentations from a number of explora-
tion companies and operational mines who will be active
in the Northwest in the coming season.

Although the presentations on Friday's agenda may
hold considerable interest for the general public, the
trade show and a Saturday morning forum might offer
even more. Not only will local residents be afforded the
opportunity to learn during these events, they will also
get a chance to express personal views as well.

The public forum will take place in the arena
banquet room from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday and will
feature a panel representing a broad range of corporate,
public and private interests, The trade show will replace
the Terrace Jaycees annual Trade Fair this year with a
lot that is familiar and a lot more that is new.

The trade show will feature a mining theme in
addition to traditional trade displays, but the biggest
difference will be in the general appearance of the
event. Minerals North organizers have employed the
expertise of Vancouver Display, a professional trade
show contractor and coordinator. Anyone who attends
can expect to see draperies, carpeting and lighting used
in imaginative and effective ways.
