==Membership== More than 250 equipment suppliers, manufacturers and service providers are members of the organization,<ref name=autogenerated1>{{Cite web |url=http://www.camese.org/company.cfm?task=list&firstletter=A |title=CAMESE - Member Listings |access-date=2009-11-26 |archive-date=2009-12-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091210120639/http://www.camese.org/company.cfm?task=list&firstletter=A |url-status=dead }}</ref> including Export Development Canada (EDC), Geosoft, Gowling Lafleur Henderson LLP (Gowlings), Phoenix Geophysics, the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC), and Hatch<ref name=autogenerated1 /> Together, these companies represent a significant portion of the Canadian mine services and mining exploration industry, in turn representing thousands of technicians, engineers, geologists, and geophysicists and millions of dollars of export revenue each year. Much of this employment is located in Northern Ontario, well known for its large mineral deposits (especially of nickel) and extraction programmes by major mining companies including Vale and Glencore.
In turn, CAMESE is a member of the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC).<ref>[http://www.pdac.ca/pdac/members/corporate-members.html PDAC • Membership • Corporate Members]</ref>
