Canada Natural Resources Minister Seamus O’Regan on Sunday launched the first action plan under the Canadian Minerals and Metals Plan (CMMP), detailing the measures put in place to ensure the mining industry seizes opportunities in the “clean-growth century”.
The plan includes specific actions that government is taking to establish Canada as the “leading mining nation in the 21st Century” and to ensure that the domestic industry benefits from the global shift to clean energy.
The CMMP was launched last year, setting out a framework for Canada’s mining vision and targets. The 2020 Action Plan operationalises the CMMP, with similar plans to follow in 2021 and 2022.
