It’s #MiningWeek in Vancouver and three of the biggest metals and exploration conferences are being held back to back to back.

It all starts this Friday, Saturday with the Metals Investor Forum #MIF, where newsletter writers introduce their favourite CEOs to subscribers, for a fee... John Kaiser, Joe Mazumdar, Eric Coffin, Jordan Roy-Byrne, Gwen Preston and Jay Taylor are hosting.

Sunday, Monday it’s the Cambridge House and Katusa Research Vancouver Resource Investment Conference #VRIC17. Like Wrestlemania for mining penny stocks, this event is a promotion focused show with a massive lineup of exhibitors and speakers including Frank Giustra, Jonathan Goodman, Rick Rule, Frank Holmes, Nick Hodge, James Kwantes, Nolan Watson, Clive Johnson and more.

Next Monday- Thursday it’s the Association of Mineral Exploration in B.C. #Roundup17. The biggest and most credible mining show in Western Canada, Roundup has a technical focus. Speakers include Don Lindsay, David Garofalo, Terry Macgibbon, Neil Adshead and more.

These events are a great place to do due diligence on small and risky mining stocks as well as grow your network of mining and investment professionals.

The six weeks between Vancouver's Mining Week and Toronto's PDAC convention is historically the most active trading period of the year for mining stocks.

Always do your own due diligence, consult a licensed investment advisor, have a cold shower and wait 24 hours before making investment decisions, especially those generated at #miningweek.
