March 2, 2020 (TORONTO, ON) – TMX Group, the global exchange leader in mining, is pleased to welcome delegates from around the world to the 2020 Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada's (PDAC) International Convention, Trade Show & Investors Exchange, taking place this week in Toronto. Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV), home to approximately half of the world's public mining companies, will mark the event with a series of market open and closing ceremonies throughout the week featuring delegations from key international mining centres.

Together, TMX Group's equity exchanges TSX and TSXV are the world's leading listing and public capital raising venue for mining companies. As of January 31, 2020, the Exchanges were home to 1,138 mining issuers with a combined market capitalization of almost $380 billion. TSX and TSXV mining companies completed 1,266 mining financing transactions in 2019, representing approximately 48% of the total public mining financing activity globally.

In addition to market open and closing ceremonies on Canada's premier equity markets, TMX Group will host government delegations from a number of countries at PDAC 2020, including Brazil, Ecuador, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Peru and countries throughout Africa. These meetings facilitate dialogue with TSX and TSXV issuers to help ensure progressive policies for the mining sector that balance environmental and social factors with the investment that will create jobs and opportunities. Representatives from TSX and TSXV will also participate in convention panel sessions and workshops during the week.
