The 14th Annual Saskatchewan Mining Supply Chain Forum will be held in-person June 20 and 21, 2022 at Prairieland Park, Saskatoon. The event is hosted by Saskatchewan Mining Association, the Saskatchewan Ministry of Trade and Export Development and the Saskatchewan Industrial and Mining Suppliers Association.

This Forum will continue to be THE event to attend to find out how manufacturers, construction, equipment and service providers can access mining supply opportunities.

The Saskatchewan Mining Supply Chain Forum is the primary mining supply chain event in western Canada that brings together the Saskatchewan mining industry and local suppliers to enhance their global competitiveness and expand markets.

The purpose of the event is:

  • To increase awareness of current mining projects in Saskatchewan and the related supply chain opportunities for manufacturing goods and services companies.

  • To provide practical information to existing and potentially new suppliers on how to be a preferred supplier to the mining industry.
