Canada's Mining Oversight: 50 Years of Buried Data
A fragmented approach to mining assessments in Canada has resulted in incomplete information for regulators, communities, and the industry, according to a commentary piece by Alana Westwood and Ben Collison in Policy Options.
The global demand for critical minerals, such as lithium, graphite, and rare earth elements, is increasing due to the clean-energy transition, digital infrastructure, and geopolitical shifts.
These minerals are touted as necessary for clean tech and national defence.
Authors Alana Westwood and Ben Collison note that this surge in demand is driving governments in Canada to unlock subsurface resources, highlighting the need for a more comprehensive approach to mining oversight.
Summary: Incomplete data hinders Canada's mining oversight.
