Distinguished Service Award


This award recognizes an individual who has achieved one or more of the following: made a substantial contribution to mineral exploration and mining development over a number of years; given considerable time and effort to the PDAC; made outstanding contributions to the mineral industry in the field of finance, geology, geophysics, geochemistry research, or a related activity.

The PDAC will be honouring Nicholas Carter for his significant contributions to exploration and mining and to the industry’s associations and professional societies. During his 50- year career, Nick has become one of the foremost consultants in property evaluation, exploration and development, producing many technical reports on mature mineral prospects in British Columbia. He is an expert on porphyry systems in the province, and his careful documentation of findings and willingness to share information with others have enhanced the province’s geoscience knowledge base. Carter has held senior positions in a number of professional associations that foster and promote Canada’s mining industry. He was a PDAC director from 1982 to 1993 and chair of the Geology Division of the CIM in 1985-86. Carter organized field trips and technical meetings in western Canada for the Geological Association of Canada. Between 1988 and 1990, he was president of the B.C. and Yukon Chamber of Mines (now the Association for Mineral Exploration BC) and a member of its executive for six years. From 1983 to 1989, he served on a committee that established standards for the registration of professional geoscientists in British Columbia.
