AME Roundup
Organized by Association for Mineral Exploration (AME) British Columbia
25–28 January 2027 · Vancouver, Canada
Western Canada’s premier mineral-exploration gathering — heavy on geoscience, technical content and discovery.
Overview
AME Roundup is the annual mineral-exploration conference of the Association for Mineral Exploration in Vancouver, one of the world’s most respected technical gatherings for the discovery end of the industry. Its program is anchored by serious geoscience — exploration methods, new discoveries, district reviews and technical short courses — alongside an exhibition and investment content.
Held in January, it complements the more investor-facing VRIC in the same city and month, giving delegates a rigorous, discovery-focused counterweight to the finance-heavy show floor. In 2027 the two overlap on 25 January, Roundup in the Vancouver Convention Centre’s East building and VRIC in the West.
Who should attend
Best for geologists and technical professionals, exploration-company executives, and the more technically minded junior-mining investors and analysts who want to understand the science behind the story.
Retail investors can attend and learn a great deal, but should come for technical education rather than a curated buy list.
What to expect
Technical and geoscience sessions, keynote and district talks, short courses, a core-shack/exhibition component, and networking across the exploration community. Public and delegate registration tiers.
Geographic emphasis
British Columbia and Cordilleran geology feature strongly, but coverage extends across Canadian and global exploration jurisdictions, with growing critical-minerals content alongside gold and silver.
