The new year is fast approaching, which means we’re looking back on our favourite highlights from 2026. This March, we had a full slate of PDAC events, including the Red Cloud Pre-PDAC Mining Showcase, our annual Investor Luncheon, and the convention itself. Plus, CSE CEO Richard Carleton spoke at Urbana Private Equity Investor Day and appeared before the Standing Senate Committee on Banking, Commerce and the Economy.
On our road to PDAC 2026, we had a fantastic time returning to Red Cloud Financial Services’ Pre-PDAC Mining Showcase as a sponsor.
Taking place at the historic “King Eddy” in Toronto, this showcase was a great way to kick off PDAC season, with plenty of keynotes, presentations, and networking to set the pace for the Convention.
As always, we also enjoyed catching up with our peers in the mining and investment communities, as well as CSE listed issuers at the event, including:
Thank you to Red Cloud Financial Services and PearTree for hosting and having us!

The first quarter’s mining conference circuit wouldn’t be complete without PDAC. We were proud to return to this legendary convention as a sponsor, where we had the opportunity to connect with investors, industry leaders, and government representatives from around the world over mineral exploration and mining.
Once again, we welcomed attendees to our booth on the exhibitor floor. And CSE CEO Richard Carleton was thrilled to share insights during the session, “Mines, markets and money: An overview of Canada’s marketplace.”
Plus, the CSE’s PDAC Global Markets Luncheon, co-hosted with the National Stock Exchange of Australia (NSX), was a big hit! Taking place at CSE headquarters in Toronto, this event served as a platform to discuss the continued collaboration between Canadian and Australian markets and to network with peers over lunch.
Beyond our participation, it was also great to see the Exchange well represented by the 30+ CSE listed issuers that exhibited during the convention, including:

During this year’s PDAC, our highly anticipated Annual PDAC Investor Luncheon made a triumphant comeback.
Taking place at the Delta Hotel Toronto on March 3, it was an engaging afternoon devoted to mineral exploration. Investors, industry experts, and capital markets participants converged to network and enjoy pitch presentations from CSE listed companies over a delicious lunch.

Urbana Corporation’s (CSE:URB) Private Equity Day also took place in Toronto alongside PDAC.
With the acquisition of the National Stock Exchange of Australia (NSX), CNSX Global Markets now operates exchanges in two of the world’s most resource-rich economies. At the event, CSE CEO Richard Carleton and NSX CEO Max Cunningham outlined the vision behind this international expansion and how it is a win for issuers and investors globally.
As Richard noted, Canadian miners already travel well, raising capital around the world. Housing the CSE and NSX under one entity creates a platform that can service issuers and investors directly and efficiently in global centres of capital across North America, Australia, and the EU.
Watch or revisit the full presentation for more on the outlook for CNSX Global Markets. Hear from Carleton and Cunningham about how each exchange is meeting this pivotal moment by building connectivity, relationships, and regulatory groundwork that will shape the direction of capital markets around the world.

With traditional IPOs in decline and retail investors pushed to the sidelines, small- and medium-sized companies are facing one of the toughest capital-raising environments in years.
CSE CEO Richard Carleton appeared before the Standing Senate Committee on Banking, Commerce and the Economy in March 2026 to discuss the breakdown of the traditional IPO and why widening retail access to public markets is central to fixing it.
Plus, he addressed provincial securities regulation and the importance of factoring in the cost of capital, as the companies most sensitive to it are the ones best positioned to drive Canada’s next wave of growth.
