BRASIL PAVILION é um esforço conjugado entre o governo federal e empresas privadas, nacionais e estrangeiras atuantes no Brasil que, reunidas em consórcio, trabalham para a promoção organizada do setor mineral no evento do PDAC*, realizado anualmente em Toronto, Canadá.Desde 1998, o Brasil vem conquistando importante espaço no cenário internacional, em virtude de sua primeira participação organizada no evento. Este fato decorreu da política de divulgação e promoção implementada pelo Ministério de Minas e Energia, através da liderança da Secretaria de Geologia, Mineração e Transformação Mineral, com a participação do Departamento Nacional de Produção Mineral – DNPM e do Serviço Geológico do Brasil – CPRM. Em 2008, o BRASIL PAVILION comemora 10 anos de exposição no PDAC*, captando novos e cada vez mais significativos investimentos em prospecção mineral e, consequentemente, ampliando sua visibilidade perante a comunidade internacional.

Governo, instituições de fomento, pesquisa e tecnologia, empresas de mineração, prestadoras de serviços, consultorias e imprensa especializada trabalham em parceria para que o BRASIL PAVILION represente uma extensão da realidade do país, motivando visitantes e congressistas do PDAC* a conhecerem melhor o setor mineral brasileiro.

FAÇA PARTE DESSE TIME E TAMBÉM DESSA HISTÓRIA. PARTICIPE DO BRASIL PAVILION 2008.

Como agente facilitador para viabilizar a formação do consórcio BRASIL PAVILION, incluindo planejamento, captação de adesões das empresas privadas, contratação de serviços no Brasil e no Canadá para a realização do evento, a Secretaria de Geologia, Mineração e Transformação Mineral selecionou a Agência para o Desenvolvimento Tecnológico da Indústria Mineral Brasileira – ADIMB para a coordenação executiva do projeto, contando com a coordenação técnica da Divisão de Marketing e Divulgação do Serviço Geológico do Brasil – CPRM.

PDAC Professional Liability and Business Insurance
The needs of independent geological consultants, junior exploration companies, mine site developers, mine operators, and service and equipment providers are complex and specialized. They do not comprise a mass market and, as a consequence, effective and reasonably priced professional liability and other specialized insurance has been difficult to find.
The Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada has put together two insurance packages with the help of two insurance consultants, Partners Indemnity Insurance Brokers Ltd., and JLT Northern Underwriting Services. The packages are designed for the specific needs of PDAC individual members who are resident in Canada and of PDAC corporate members based in Canada, and to keep rates low by negotiating excellent group discount
