Critical Minerals – the Time is Now
Michael Goehring
British Columbia's critical mineral and mining industry stands at a pivotal point in the global energy transition.
While critical minerals are essential for clean technologies and fighting climate change, ongoing challenges remain in adopting the right fiscal and regulatory policies to support the growth of B.C.’s mining sector.
To be sure, British Columbia is well-positioned to be a leading global supplier of responsibly-produced critical minerals and metals, but our time is limited to capitalize on this generational opportunity.
Join Michael Goehring, President and CEO of the Mining Association of BC, who will address what actions must be taken to seize the opportunity before us.
