TORONTO, Nov. 26 /CNW/ - Scotia Capital is hosting its annual Precious
Metals Conference on Tuesday, November 27 and Wednesday, November 28 in
Toronto. This year we have assembled a broad range of precious metal companies
from small exploration companies, to emerging producers, silver producers, and
senior gold miners. The focus of the conference will be on how each company

expenses. Audio portions of the presentations will be broadcast live on the
