• On November 21, 2006 MPI was invited by the Mining Association of Canada (MAC), to a reception at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier Hotel and lunch at Rideau Hall in Ottawa. More than fifty (50) Federal decision-makers were in attendance. The Honourable Gary Lunn, Minister of Natural Resources was the keynote speaker. The focus was on issues relating to the need for regulatory efficiency and project review plus the importance of geoscience in addressing declining mineral reserves.
  
  I broke bread with Sonia Couto, Trade Commissioner, Metals and Minerals, Business Sector Bureau. Valuable insights to the operations of the Trade Commissioner Service were very much appreciated. I hope to have some exciting news in the future from our tete à tete.
  
  A big “Thank-You” to Gordon R. Peeling, President & CEO of MAC for the invitation. They promote, through the collective action of their members, the growth and development of Canada's mining and mineral-processing industry, for the benefit of all Canadians.
  
  Also in attendance was my former president of the Canadian Institute of Mining and first ever female to hold that post: Patricia J. Dillon. Pat currently is the Manager of Corporate Relations at Tek Cominco. It was enjoyable talking to her, as she was surrounded by many of the attendees. She commented on my successes at CIM and that was very much appreciated. She looked great !
  
  Tim Kennedy, Director of Natural Resources & Environment, for Global Public Affaires shared our table and was an interesting person to talk to.
  
  
• 2006 has been an outstanding year for The ASIA MINER. We celebrated our second year of representing it and in May, after numerous requests from our readers for more Asia-Pacific mining and resources news, we encouraged our overseas associates, to start the weekly electronic news service in May, which has been enormously popular amongst our clients here in North America.
  
  Also in 2006 the magazine has grown from 28 pages in the First Quarter edition which was published in January this year, to now sending off to the printer the First Quarter edition for 2007 which has 76 pages - proof that 2006 has really been an enormously successful year ! Mining Publications International will be happy to send you a complimentary copy with its 2007 Media Kit.
