GATA will participate in Cambridge House's International Metal Writers Conference in Vancouver next Sunday and Monday, May 28 and 29.
GATA Board of Directors member Ed Steer, publisher of Ed Steer's Gold & Silver Digest letter, and your secretary/treasurer will be speaking, and GATA Chairman Bill Murphy, proprietor of LeMetropoleCafe.com, will preside over GATA's reception at the nearby Lions Pub following the conference.
Among other speakers at the conference will be Rick Rule of Sprott U.S. Holdings, David Morgan of The Morgan Report and Silver-Investor.com, Frank Holmes of U.S. Global Investors, Mickey Fulp of MercenaryGeologist.com, and Thom Calandra of The Calandra Report.
The conference aims "to discuss, debate, and forecast the future of the junior mining industry in the junior mining capital of the world." Of course Vancouver is more than that, especially in the spring, when it is North America's most spectacular city.
Admission to the conference is free with advance registration. Admission will cost C$20 at the door.
The Fairmont Waterfront hotel, across the street from the convention center, is offering a conference rate.

GATA's reception at the Lions Pub will be held from 5-8 p.m. Monday, May 29. The pub is located at 888 West Cordova St., a short walk from the convention center. Admission will be free. There will be a cash bar and, as usual, if the GATA delegation doesn't beat you to them, some free snacks.
The Lions Pub is a warm and cozy place in the heart of downtown Vancouver --
