Recent commitments to mining, particularly the new Canada-US Joint Action Plan on Critical Minerals Collaboration and the Canadian Minerals and Metals Plan (CMMP), show great promise for the country’s mining sector, Mining Association of Canada (MAC) CEO and president Pierre Gratton said last week, in his yearly address to the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade.
“The US is looking to Canada to be a supplier of critical minerals, essential to new, advanced technologies in major sectors of the North American economy, and the government of Canada, as expressed in Prime Minister [Justin] Trudeau’s most recent Mandate Letters to his Cabinet, is committed to meet US demands,” Gratton said.
