𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁.𝐂'𝐬 𝐏𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 👷♂️💰 “Contrary to the data compiled by PwC, Association for Mineral Exploration (AME) CEO Keerit Jutla said investments in exploration have actually declined from $996.8 million in 2022 to $764.6 million in 2023. A fact sheet by the mines ministry stated a slightly lower number for exploration at $643.5 million in 2023 but agreed that exploration expenditures fell from their 2022 high. Industry groups have previously warned that while there are 17 proposed critical mineral mines in B.C., delays in getting them approved could lead to companies focusing on countries with smaller regulatory burdens such as China and Russia. They are also concerned about the lack of new funding in B.C.’s long-awaited critical minerals strategy, which was released in January, and the NDP’s reluctance to include industry in consultations on the new Mineral Tenure Act currently under development. Jutla says he is “hopeful” the province is listening to the sector’s concerns but reiterated that everyone with a stake in the mining sector — government, First Nations and industry — needs to get onside to develop a regulatory framework. “The World Bank predicts a 500 per cent increase in critical mineral production by 2050 to meet clean energy demands,” he said. “So this means that we can't just rely on the mines that we have, or even the mines in the queue, we're going to have to find more deposits.” A request to talk with the authors of the PwC report was not returned by press time.” 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gz-tMuNt 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gCAk5vec #MiningBC #MineralExploration #CriticalMinerals #MiningInvestment #CleanEnergyDemands #RegulatoryFramework AME - Association for Mineral Exploration Mining Association of BC

If we want to take advantage of this $800B+ opportunity in BC, and contribute to the energy transition, then it can't take 20 years to open a mine. And if we don't, then the minerals the world needs will likely come from countries with actors that may not have the same environmental and labour standards as the Governments of BC and Canada and the Canadian mining industry participants.
New critical mineral mines in BC could generate nearly $800B, says MABC BC's 16 proposed critical mineral mines, with $36B investment, 300K jobs, and $11B tax revenues, reach a pivotal stage, reveals analysis. “The realization of benefits from these critical mineral projects is dependent on B.C. having competitive fiscal and regulatory policies that will attract the investment necessary to grow and sustain the sector. The provincial government’s forthcoming critical minerals strategy is fundamental to these efforts,” Mining Association of BC CEO Michael Goehring said. #mining #miningnews #batterymetals #gold

B.C. is key to Canada's strategy for producing critical minerals essential for economic growth, with significant opportunities in mining, job creation, and contributions to the global supply chain. Despite robust potential and ongoing projects, the primary challenge remains the lengthy permitting process, which hinders the rapid development needed to capitalize on rising global demand for these minerals. Reas the full story here in the The Vancouver Sun, with words from Michael Goehring of the Mining Association of BC, John Steen of the The University of British Columbia, and Heather Exner-Pirot of the Macdonald-Laurier Institute #mining #naturalresources https://lnkd.in/gUtUbyJA

The Fraser Institute today announced the results of its 2023 survey of mining companies, which ranks mining jurisdictions in terms of their overall Investment Attractiveness Index (which combines two other indices/rankings: a Mineral Potential Index and a Policy Perception Index). This year’s survey was sent out to 2,045 exploration, development, and other mining-related companies around the world between August 2023 and January 2024, and a total of 293 responses were received, according to The Fraser Institute. Notably, several jurisdictions moved up in the ranks compared to last year’s survey, including: Utah, whose Investment Attractiveness Index increased by 16.2 points to 90, increasing its rank from #17 to #1 top mining jurisdiction globally, according to the survey. Finland, whose index increased by 8.9 points to 75.67, increasing its rank from #29 to #17 top mining jurisdiction, and re-establishing the nation as Europe’s top mining jurisdiction. Salta Province (Argentina), whose index increased by 20.8 points to 77.24, increasing its rank from #45 to #14 top jurisdiction. Manitoba, whose index increased by 6.8 points to 84.74, increasing its rank from #14 to #6. Northwest Territories (Canada), whose index increased by 14.2 points to 72.38, increasing its rank from #43 to #24. Idaho, whose index increased by 7.3 points to 75.38, increasing its rank from #28 to #20.

🌐 Mineral exploration – How do we search for new orebodies and mineral deposits? 🌐 The purpose of mineral exploration is to find new deposits that can become orebodies. There are two major types of exploration: brownfield and greenfield. 🌐 Brownfield exploration focuses on securing deposits close to existing mines. This can be done from the surface or from inside the mine. By using preexisting infrastructure, the geological conditions are usually already known. 🌐 Greenfield exploration focuses on securing deposits in new, unexplored areas. This method holds much higher risk. The steps required varies between countries, but intensive study of the land and surrounding area is normally required prior to conducting core drilling. 🌐 The total amount of exploration activity depends on macroeconomic factors, like world economy cycles and the demand for minerals. Major mining companies tend to invest in brownfield exploration almost always regardless of world economy factors. To meet long-term economic needs, major and junior mining companies invest in greenfield exploration through drilling contractors. 🌐 Have you been a part of a brownfield or greenfield venture?

Hello, LinkedIn community! At Goldberg Resources, we pride ourselves on keeping our clients and collaborators informed about the latest trends and key concepts in economic geology. Today, we want to share an insightful article from the Investing News Network that highlights essential terms for investors in the mining industry. Mineral Resources vs. Mineral Reserves: Key Terms for Investors Investing in the mining industry comes with certain risks, but understanding fundamental terms can help investors interpret company press releases and make strong decisions about their portfolios. What are mineral resources? Mineral resources are typically linked to the exploration phase of a project and are categorized into inferred, indicated, and measured, providing different levels of confidence about what exists in the ground. What are mineral reserves? Mineral reserves, on the other hand, include only the portions of a resource that are economically viable to extract. These are divided into probable and proven reserves, representing a higher level of confidence and precision. Key Differences: - Inferred Resources: Based on limited exploration, they represent the lowest confidence. - Indicated Resources: Results from more extensive exploration, used in prefeasibility studies. - Measured Resources: The most detailed and reliable data, crucial for advanced technical reports. - Probable Reserves: Require realistic economic and engineering studies. - Proven Reserves: The most accurate and reliable estimate of available minerals for extraction. At Goldberg Resources, we are here to guide you through every step of the mining investment process, providing the information and analysis you need to make informed decisions. 🔗 Read the full article from Investing News Network here: [Investing News Network](https://lnkd.in/eXkSt7tS) Stay connected with us for more updates and industry insights.

“Building 14 new mineral mines and extending two others could be a 'generational opportunity' for the province and make it 'a leading global supplier of responsibly-produced critical minerals.' But Michael Goehring, MABC’s president, said the BC government would have to back the plans to make them a reality. 'The realization of benefits from these critical mineral projects is dependent on BC having competitive fiscal and regulatory policies that will attract the investment necessary to grow and sustain the sector.'" https://lnkd.in/gv59Dhaj #bcpoli #cdnpoli #bcmining #mining #criticalminerals #competitiveness #bceconomy
