/R E P E A T -- Media Invitation - Strategic Forum on Natural Resources at The Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal/

INVESTING TODAY IN TOMORROW'S RESOURCES

MONTRÉAL, Dec. 4, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - Michel Leblanc, President and CEO of the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal, is pleased to invite media representatives to attend the Board of Trade's Strategic Forum on Natural Resources on December 8 at 7:30 a.m.

Natural resources represent a major source of collective wealth. Despite the recent decline in prices, they still offer many business opportunities that must be seized at this moment. Now is the time to identify the most promising projects for the future and to invest in mining development so as to be ready to profit from rising resource prices. The new draft of the Plan Nord is consistent with this approach in that it recommends undertaking concrete projects in the short term. In addition, the prices and diversity in our energy sector serve as a key means of increasing our companies' competitiveness.

The Natural Resources Forum will also be attended by Mr. Pierre Arcand, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources and Minister responsible for the Plan Nord.

Date:	Monday, December 8, 2014
Time:	7:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Location:	Palais des congrès de Montréal
	1001 Place Jean-Paul-Riopelle

Media accreditation required. Please contact Michelle Llambias Meunier at [email protected] to register.
