An Enviable Location for Mining

Rich in Critical Minerals: British Columbia is endowed with a wide variety of critical minerals, including fluorspar, copper, molybdenum, zinc, and rare earth elements, making it a key contributor to Canada’s critical minerals strategy and global supply chains.

Essential for Clean Technology: Mining and exploration in BC provide the materials needed for electric vehicles, batteries, solar panels, wind turbines, and other low-carbon technologies essential for combating climate change.

Strong Economic Impact: The mining sector—including critical minerals—generates billions in economic activity, supports tens of thousands of jobs, and is projected to contribute even more with new critical mineral projects, each potentially generating $1 billion in annual revenue.

World-Class Geological Potential: BC’s diverse geology hosts multiple mineral systems, offering exceptional opportunities for discovery and development of underexplored resources like fluorspar.

Stable and Responsible Jurisdiction: British Columbia is recognized globally for its transparent regulations, responsible mining practices, and collaborative approach with First Nations and local communities, making it an attractive and secure place for mineral investment and exploration.

Generational Opportunity: With global demand for critical minerals expected to increase six-fold by 2040, BC is positioned to become a leading supplier of responsibly sourced materials, supporting both a low-carbon future and sustainable economic growth.
