TORONTO - The Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) honoured the best of the exploration industry at its awards dinner held on March 8 during the 2010 PDAC conference. Here are the lucky winners.

The Thayer Lindsley Award for an international mineral discover went to long-time prospectors Perry Durning and Bud Hillemeyer for their record of grassroots discoveries in Mexico. These include, in 1994, the San Sebastian mine with a life-of-mine production over four years of 11.2 million oz. of silver and 155,937 oz of gold; the San Agustin gold deposit in 1996 (1.6 million oz. indicated, 1.1 million oz. inferred); La Pitarrilla silver deposit in 2002 (91.7 million oz. probable, plus 551.6 million oz. measured and indicated, and one of the most significant silver discoveries in the last decade) ; and most recently in 2007 the Camino Rojo gold discovery (3.4 million oz. gold and 60.7 million oz. silver).
