EVENT PROGRAM
INTRODUCING THE FIRST EVER NORTHERN ONTARIO MINING SUPPLY SHOWCASE
To all companies, business owners, executives, dignitaries and otherspecial guests from around the world, we welcome you to the Northern Ontario Mining Supply Showcase.
This event is the result of a longstanding partnership between various communities and organizations that recognize the unique potential which PDAC affords for the promotion of Northern Ontario and its businesses to the world. Spearheaded in 2010 by the Township of James and the Elk Lake Community Forest, the collaborative effort has since grown to include partners from throughout Northern Ontario. Over the years, activities undertaken by the group have included a presence in the Ontario Pavilion, hosting hospitality suites and separate on-site exhibits which have gone so far as to feature live theatre presentations!
This partnership has since evolved into the Northern Ontario Mining Supply Showcase event that you are attending today. While here, we encourage you take the opportunity to network, cultivate relationships, and generate business opportunities and leads with the over thirty-five participating exhibitors. Learn first-hand why Northern Ontario is deemed to be a centre of mining excellence and, while you’re at it…enjoy some of our famous Northern hospitality!
Sincerely,
The 2014 Northern Ontario Mining Supply Showcase Organizing Committee

PNEUMA TOOLSpneuma-tool.com - NORTH BAY, ON
Pneuma-Tool’s patented, inherently biodegradable rock drill lubricants provide superior lubrication protection to all mining equipment in temperature extremes from -50oC to +65oC, while minimally impacting environmentally sensitive landscapes. They are minimum quantity lubricants, meaning that they can be used at injection rates as low as 20% compared to conventional lubricants - less product to transport and store in remote sites. Water quality is not an issue either, as Pneuma-Tool’s polar formulas provide a tenacious barrier to water penetration, ensuring that corrosion problems are minimized. Equipment reliability, and extended service intervals means less downtime for repairs. Wear rates are significantly reduced. Pneuma-Tool lubricants have been proven to solve most of the problems associated with air-tool lubrication, by increasing tool service intervals, minimizing tool freeze-up, and resistance to wash out by water in compressed air. Oil fog is reduced or eliminated. Pneuma-Tool protects the health of miners’ lungs, reduces slip / fall hazards, improves visibility so that miners can work more productively, reduces ventilation requirements, and improves miners’ cleanliness and hygiene. Pneuma-Tool is proven to minimize oil fog at temperatures as high as 65oC.

Graduate numbers since the school began in 1912, are now nearing 3,000. The HSMAA is a strong body, some claiming it to be one of the strongest school alumni associations in the country.

TOWNSHIP OF JAMES / ELK LAKEelklake.ca - NORTHEASTERN ONTARIO
The historic resource community of Elk Lake was founded in 1906 with the discovery of silver by the legendary Jack Munroe. In addition to its own mines, it became a primary supply point for Matachewan, Gowganda and beyond to Shiningtree during their heyday as mining camps. Elk Lake then transitioned into a lumbering centre which it remains to this day. In true industry fashion with the rebirth of Matachewan, it has also again become a supplier of services to the mining industry both near and far through resident businesses supplying industrial maintenance requirements. Elk Lake also features a fully serviced industrial park for locating your business or industry in. Situated on the banks of the Montreal River where the Bear Creek enters it, this picturesque community is recognized for its welcoming nature.
