Junior oilsands developers court investors

Junior oilsands developers and producers flaunted their wares this week at an investment symposium, touting land mass, technology and diversity to attract joint venture money. The bulkier the company, the more conversations to be held with prospective joint partners, said presenters at the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers conference on Tuesday.
