How Can Canada Build More Mines Faster?

Keynote Speaker: Pierre Gratton, President & CEO, The Mining Association of Canada

George Harvie

Combatting climate change is the biggest global challenge of our time, and Canada's mining industry is being called upon like never before to provide the materials essential to the energy transition.

Minerals and metals are mined in Canada with strong commitments to ESG, including through made-in-Canada standards like Towards Sustainable Mining. We have one of the cleanest grids in the world. We can and should be a leading supplier of these critical materials to meet global demand. To do this, we need to build more Canadian mines, smelters and refineries to feed the needs of battery plants, the EV value chain and many other sectors.

Canada needs to attract investment into the mining sector, or our position in the race for advanced technology manufacturing — and the benefits that flow from that — will be significantly diminished. Recent federal budgets have helped set the stage for a rebound in mineral and metal exploration and development, but there is more work to do, including improving the timelines for regulatory approvals.

Time is of the essence and Canada must come to the table if our goals to be the global mining supplier of choice are to be realized.

Join Pierre Gratton for his annual address to learn more about the significant opportunities facing Canada's mining industry.
