      Chairperson
      Mining Suppliers Trade Association Canada
      7111 Syntex Drive, suite 130
      Mississauga ON L5N 8C3

      Dear Mr. Sharpe:

      I’m pleased to congratulate the Mining Suppliers Trade Association Canada (MSTA CANADA)
      on 40 years of dedicated service to the mining supply and services sector of Canada!

      Our government is committed to the success of Canadian small and medium-sized enterprises,
      and I commend the efforts of your association to promote the growth of businesses in the mining
      supply and services sector. By connecting mining supply and services companies to business
      opportunities across Canada, and internationally, as well as providing professional development,
      industry news, and by supporting its members, MSTA CANADA contributes to the promotion
      and the advancement of a responsible, sustainable, and inclusive industry.

      MSTA CANADA is a valued partner of our government and of Canada’s Trade Commissioner
      Service (TCS) around the world. Together we share a common goal—supporting Canadian
      businesses in their international business endeavours. Whether it is introducing Canadian
      businesses directly to potential customers or connecting companies to local businesses for
      strategic partnerships and supports for their respective products or services, our government, the
      TCS, and MSTA CANADA have worked side by side to make those connections.

      Again, congratulations MSTA CANADA on celebrating 40 years as Canada’s national voice for
      the mining supply and services sector. We look forward to continuing our successful partnership
      with you.

      Sincerely,

      The Honourable Mary Ng, P.C., M.P.

critical for the association,

has also been a cornerstone of our

Writing the next chapter

From independent companies
working in isolation… to
what Leo Fox described as a
“good and scrappy little trade
organization” with a small
footprint and big ambitions…
to a national organization
with a voice in Ottawa, MSTA
CANADA has indeed come
a long way in 40 years.

“There’s no doubt we’ll face
new challenges even as we all
work through the pandemic and
whatever it leaves in its wake,”
says Ryan. “But my experience
has seen that there are always
exciting opportunities that can
be discovered and when I look
at the major trends, this is going
to be an extremely exciting
decade of new opportunities.
And we can better capture
them as a united force just like
that small group of gentlemen
sitting around a hotel pool in
Peru envisioned 40 years ago.”

25 YEARS OF
                                    THE COMPENDIUM

                         Two and a half decades ago, the original member catalogue,
                         in loose-leaf binder format, was transformed into an annual
                         magazine called the Compendium of Canadian Mining Suppliers.
                         The contents included an alphabetical listing of all members, paid
                         member profiles and industry-related articles.

                         Thousands of copies of the Compendium were distributed
                         widely: to members, mining companies, international trade show
                         delegates and Canadian embassies; to on-demand requests
                         through various direct response mechanisms; and by the boxful
                         to government agencies including the Department of Foreign
                         Affairs and International Trade.

                         Says charter member Leo Fox (Phoenix Geophysics), “the
                         Compendium has always been a huge benefit to members
                         because it makes them visible to a wide range of people around
                         the globe. You never know who might be interested in your
                         company – but the Compendium gets your name out there so you
                         can be found.”

                         In 2019, the Compendium got a fresh new look to better
                         reflect MSTA CANADA’s new branding. Following the business
                         disruptions of the pandemic, the 2021 edition is being distributed
                         exclusively in electronic format for the first time ever – an
                         adaptation that will enable us to reach an even wider audience.
