Are there minerals in my cell phone? Where on Earth did that come from? How do you turn a rock into a copper pipe? What is the role of minerals and mining in my life? You can find answers to these questions and many more at the annual BC Mining Week Community Fair, from 10am to 3pm. This event was created by the Mineral Resources Education Program of BC (MREPBC) in partnership with the Association for Mineral Exploration BC (AMEBC) and is supported by sponsorship acquired through Partners in Mining, the BC Mining Week Committee.
