FedNor announced today it will spend $412,000 to enable the City of Temiskaming Shores to establish the Northern Ontario Mining Showcase (NOMS) pavilion at the 2023 Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum's (CIM) Convention and Expo

NOMS continues to grow its presence at CIM Expos, building upon its continued success at the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada Convention held each year in Toronto.

"Spanning an impressive 5,000 square feet and featuring up to 60 mining supply and service companies from across the region, the FedNor-funded pavilion at CIM EXPO 2023 has nearly doubled in size and scope so it can include more businesses and maximize opportunities for networking and sales," says a news release. "As one of the largest pavilions at CIM 2023, NOMS will provide a unique opportunity to showcase northern Ontario innovation, including some of the latest in mining equipment, tools, products, services and clean-tech. In 2023 alone, NOMS at CIM is expected to help participating businesses increase sales and exports by more than $1.5 million, creating 30 high-quality jobs in Northern Ontario and maintaining 30 more."

Taking place in Montreal from April 30 to May 3, the 2023 CIM EXPO is expected to attract over 5,000 industry professionals, experts, and decision-makers, and feature more than 450 exhibitors.

“The continued expansion of NOMS demonstrates the importance of the project and the need to keep it growing so we can include more businesses and help them increase sales and exports and attract new investment to our region," said Carman Kidd, Mayor of Temiskaming Shores. "Since 2015, the City of Temiskaming Shores has led the charge on this strategic initiative and I am thrilled to say the return on investment has been incredible for all involved.”
