Canada’s critical minerals are essential to batteries, electric vehicles, aerospace technologies, defence systems and other advanced industries. With significant mineral reserves and an experienced mining workforce, Canada has an opportunity to expand beyond extraction by strengthening domestic processing, manufacturing and supply chains from mine to market. As global demand for critical minerals increases, developing more of the value chain within Canada could support new investment, infrastructure, innovation and economic growth while strengthening the country’s position in global critical mineral markets.
