Women & Investing: Live at PDAC (Core Experience)
By 2030, women will own the majority of wealth in Canada. Combine this influential position with Canada’s leading critical mineral industry, and we have an opportunity to seize. This session will focus on how we can align impact, investment, and values as we shape the intersection of mining and wealth over the next five years.
2026 is the year of ownership, and that includes our wealth and investment decisions.
Women + Investing, Live at PDAC is a four-hour, small-room session for women who want a clear, practical way to bring mineral exploration and mining into their portfolios.
We connect three things in one place:
The current commodity and critical minerals environment
Understanding the concepts of risk, reward, and positioning
Where mineral exploration and mining operations can sit in an investment portfolio
Real case studies of women building wealth in the mining industry
No finance background is required. Curiosity and a willingness to ask questions are enough.
What is included
Four-hour, live in-person session during PDAC
Plain-language walk-through of the mining cycle and current market context
Frameworks for understanding risk, reward, and time horizons
Examples of where mineral exploration and mining can sit in a diversified portfolio
Space to ask questions in a room of women working in and around mining
Who this is for
Any woman interested in mining investment, from beginner to advanced
Any woman working in or around the mining sector
The details:
Sunday, Mar 1 from 1 PM to 5 PM EST
Venue TBD and will be delivered directly to your inbox
