Today the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, Canada’s Minister of Natural Resources, released Canada’s Critical Minerals Strategy, backed by up to $3.8 billion in federal funding allocated in Budget 2022. The proposed funding covers a range of industrial activities, from geoscience and exploration to mineral processing, manufacturing and recycling applications, including support for research, development and technological deployment.
The Strategy maps out how Canada can seize this generational opportunity in a way that accomplishes economic growth, climate action and environmental protection, reconciliation, diversity and global security.
