Business Development.

Creating business development opportunities between B.C. mine operators and suppliers is a core function of MSABC. MSABC hosts a series of networking events with the Mining Association of B.C. each year to help maintain old business ties and to create new relationships. MSABC also provides members with a suite of business development tools to help them stay on top of industry developments and to raise their company’s profile in the B.C. mining ecosystem.
