Canada continues to be the world’s leader in the production of potash and uranium. It ranks in the top five countries for the production of aluminum, cadmium, chrysotile, cobalt, gypsum, magnesium, molybdenum, nickel, platinum group metals, salt and zinc.
Canada is one of the largest mining nations in the world, producing more than 60 minerals and metals.
Three quarters of Canadian mineral production is accounted for by Ontario (27%), British Columbia (18%), Saskatchewan (16%) and Quebec (14%). As well, Canada has a mining presence in every province and territory.
Uranium mines use limestone to neutralize the acids used to leach out of rocks. This feasibility study might lead to a joint venture with CAMECO to develop this property, potentially generating up to 300 new jobs. This project is funded by Western Economic Diversification Canada.
