⛳️ That’s a wrap on another fantastic SEG Golf Tournament! ⛳️

We couldn’t have asked for a better start to the day—a beautiful rainbow welcomed everyone to the course!

The competition was fierce, the laughs were plentiful, and there were plenty of prizes won along the way. It was another great day of golf, fun, and catching up with friends and colleagues from across the industry.

Congratulations to BV Wholesale for taking home the Funniest Team Award! You definitely brought the laughs!

⭐ A HUGE THANK YOU TO OUR INCREDIBLE SPONSORS! ⭐

Our tournament simply would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors. We are incredibly grateful for your continued commitment to SEG and for helping us put on such a fun and successful event each year.

🥂 Ch*****ne Breakfast: Hy-Tech Drilling
🍽️ Lunch: Tria Solutions
🍴 Dinner: Evergreen Industrial Supplies & Omineca Diamond Drilling
🥳 Reception: Hayden Diamond Drilling, Dorado Drilling, Moon River Moly & Rokmaster

Thank you for investing in SEG and supporting our organization—we truly appreciate it! Your sponsorship makes a huge difference and helps us continue the work we do in our community and for the mineral exploration industry.

📸 A special thank you to Skeena Gold & Silver for taking so many amazing photos throughout the day and capturing some great tournament memories! Some photos were taken before the dice of random poses was dropped, and others after—so you may notice a slight difference in the photos throughout the day!

Thank you to everyone who played, sponsored, volunteered, cheered, laughed, and helped make the SEG Golf Tournament such a great day.

🎉 And next year is going to be a BIG one! 🎉

2027 marks the 50th year of the SEG Golf Tournament! We’re already looking forward to celebrating this incredible milestone with our members, sponsors, golfers, and supporters. We can’t wait to make the 50th tournament one to
remember!

Until next year—keep swinging!

The Association for Mineral Exploration (AME) is calling on the federal government to expand Canadian Exploration Expenses (CEE) to include technical studies, engineering and feasibility costs for eligible mineral projects.

I’ve added my support to the letter and encourage others in the mineral exploration and mining sector to do the same. If you or your organization would like to support the letter, please add your name here:
