Canada Eurasia Russia Business Association (CERBA) International Mining Conference
714A Metro Toronto Convention Centre, South Building
Monday, March 8, 2010

The Russian Federation, the world's largest and most mineral-rich nation, has quickly reshaped its mining industry in response to the global financial crisis. Recent legislative and policy changes have sought to address the demands of foreign mining companies in order to attract new investment.

CERBA's annual mining conference will offer a full day program dedicated to developments in the Russian mining sector and mining opportunities in Russia for Canadian companies. Participants include representatives of leading Canadian and Russian mining companies, investors, suppliers, Russian and Canadian government officials and officials from the most significant mineral producing regions of Russia.

The 2010 program also has a special panel on opportunities in Central Asia.
