PDAC 2026 Technical Sessions on Exploration Strategies: New Discoveries Versus Brownfield Expansion PDAC 2026 will feature two technical sessions examining brownfield and greenfield exploration strategies. The brownfield session focuses on expanding resources around existing or past-producing mines, highlighting lower geological risk, faster timelines, and capital efficiency. Case studies include copper, gold, and IOCG systems in established districts. The greenfield session reviews recent discoveries and emerging districts, including gold, potash, copper-gold, and uranium projects. These presentations illustrate differing risk-return profiles, infrastructure requirements, and exploration economics. Together, the sessions demonstrate how brownfield extensions and greenfield discoveries both contribute to long-term mineral supply and reserve replacement across global jurisdictions. [more]

Read our article on Brownfield vs Greenfield Exploration at PDAC 2026 and how these strategies shape mineral supply, risk, and capital allocation across copper, gold, potash, and uranium projects.
