Setting the Standard for Mineral Excellence

As the global mining industry evolves, expectations for transparency, accountability, and technical rigour continue to rise. Investors, regulators, and communities alike depend on accurate, defensible mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates. In this environment, excellence in estimation is no longer optional. It is foundational to trust, value creation, and long-term project success.

From November 3–6, 2026, industry leaders, technical experts, and regulators will gather in Montreal for the Mineral Resources & Mineral Reserves Conference (MRMR 2026), the international forum dedicated exclusively to the complete mineral resources and mineral reserves lifecycle.

Why attend?

Building on the success of the inaugural 2024 conference, MRMR 2026 provides a focused, high-level platform for advancing best practices across estimation, classification, disclosure, and governance.

“Many conferences just deal with either mineral resources or mineral reserves. We’ve combined them both and the bridge between mineral resource and mineral reserve is where the real value is created.”

— Garth Kirkham, MRMRS Past Chair and CIM Past President

Operating under the theme “The Integrated Lens: Collaboration for Responsible Mineral Development”, MRMR 2026 addresses the growing complexity of estimation across jurisdictions, reporting codes, project stages, and stakeholder expectations.

Who should attend?

MRMR 2026 is engineered for professionals who operate at the intersection of technical excellence and commercial viability. This forum is essential for:

• Qualified Persons (QPs) & Resource Geologists: Those tasked with the rigorous quantification of geological risk and the maintenance of reporting integrity.
• Mine Planning & Process Engineers: Professionals responsible for converting theoretical resources into economic reserves through optimized mine designs and metallurgical strategies.
• Capital Market Professionals & Investors: Individuals seeking to deepen their understanding of technical due diligence and the nuances of risk management in mining portfolios.
• Regulators & Policy Makers: Officials focused on the evolution of international reporting standards (such as NI 43-101 or JORC) and the implementation of transparent governance.
• ESG & Sustainability Directors: Strategists looking to integrate social license and environmental stewardship directly into the mineral estimation framework.

Whether your role is technical, financial, regulatory, or strategic, MRMR 2026 offers a rare opportunity to align on what matters most – credible, transparent, and defensible mineral resource and mineral reserve practices.

A deeper, more practical perspective

While many industry events offer broad overviews, MRMR 2026 delivers a rigorous, end-to-end examination of the estimation process, from exploration data and geological modeling through mine planning, economic evaluation, and public disclosure.

Attendees will gain continued professional development hours while gaining practical insights into how technical decisions influence project value, investment confidence, and regulatory compliance throughout the project life cycle through keynotes, technical presentations and short courses.

The MRMR 2026 Conference represents more than a technical gathering; it is a collaborative effort to shape the future of mineral excellence. We invite you to join us in Montreal to empower transparency and refine the standards of our industry.
