More focus on the mineral exploration industry in the Rainy River district.
Pwi-Di-Goo-Zing Ne-Yaa-Zhing Advisory Services staged a two-day conference in Fort Frances this week with both industry and education and training reps on hand.
The event include discussions on what is taking place in the region and a trade show.
Mineral Development Adviser Alex Bruyere says the industry is bringing new opportunities for the area.
He points to New Gold project which has helped create a number of new First Nation run companies that are now well positioned to do business elsewhere.
