Mining investors are losing confidence in the mineral exploration permit process in most Canadian provinces, with applications taking longer to be approved and a lack of transparency, a new study released Tuesday<\/a> shows.<\/p>\n

According to the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian policy think-tank, British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec are the three main provinces where exploration requests have grown longer and less transparent over the past 10 years.<\/p>\n

In fact, 50% of the mining executives that participated in Fraser’s latest \u201cMining Survey\u201d<\/a>, indicated a lack of transparency in Ontario deters investment, followed by 48% of respondents in B.C. and 40% in Quebec.<\/p>\n

In 2017, 83% of respondents in Ontario said that permit times had lengthened over the last ten years compared to 73% in B.C. and 50% in Quebec. On average, more respondents in the Canadian jurisdictions indicated that permit times were getting considerably longer compared to respondents in Australia and Scandinavia.<\/p>\n

Kenneth Green, Fraser Institute resident scholar and co-author of \u201cPermit Times for Mining Exploration in 2017<\/a>\u201d says the situation no only deters investment, but also \u201chinders Canada’s ability to realize its considerable resource potential.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUltimately, uncompetitive mining policies send valuable investment dollars\u2014and the jobs and prosperity they create\u2014elsewhere,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

The survey’s results were broken into three areas: the length of time it takes to be approved for the necessary permits, the transparency of the permitting process, and the certainty of the permitting process.<\/p>\n

\"Canada<\/p>\n

As a conclusion, Green says, we don’t suggest that regulations should be lessened in order to reduce the risks and costs to industry; rather we argue that regulations should be as efficient and cost effective as possible while trying to address concerns like externalities that can result from exploration activities.<\/p>\n
