Insights from 50 Years of Buried Data on Canada's Mining Oversight
A fragmented approach to mining assessments in Canada has resulted in regulators, communities, and the industry working with incomplete information, according to a commentary piece by Alana Westwood and Ben Collison of Dalhousie University, published 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 necessary for clean tech and national defence.
Authors Alana Westwood and Ben Collison note that this surge in demand has prompted the Canadian government to push for the unlocking of subsurface resources, heading into a modern mining rush.
Summary by authors: Incomplete data hinders Canada's mining oversight.
