Canada's Mining Oversight: 50 Years of Buried Data
A commentary piece by Alana Westwood and Ben Collison reveals that Canada's fragmented approach to mining assessments has left regulators, communities, and industry with incomplete information.
The global demand for critical minerals, such as lithium, graphite, and rare earth elements, is surging due to the clean-energy transition, digital infrastructure, and geopolitical shifts.
These minerals are touted as necessary for clean tech and national defence.
Authors Alana Westwood and Ben Collison note that this surge in demand is driving governments in Canada to unlock subsurface resources, but with a significant lack of oversight.
Summary: Canada's mining data gap hinders effective oversight.
