Association for Mineral Exploration British Columbia, Vancouver, BC

From humble but determined beginnings, the Association for Mineral Exploration British Columbia (AME BC) has grown to be one of the most respected mining organizations in North America. Along the way it has strived to advance the interests of all those involved in the mining industry. And by all accounts it has succeeded at that goal.
AME BC's inaugural Salary Survey was received very favourably, and the fourth edition of Safety Guidelines for Mineral Exploration in Western Canada was released. With the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada, AME BC launched a nationwide safety survey that builts on AME BC's 26 year record of promoting safety awareness in British Columbia and Yukon. The new Stepping Stone newsletter aimed at increasing understanding between First Nations and the mineral exploration and mining community. AME BC's magazine was also rebranded Mineral Exploration as a voice for the BC-based mineral exploration community. In December, the inaugural Crisis Communications Workshop was held.
