“
Everywhere I go, my message is the same. Canada is a
market-based, responsible and reliable supplier of natural
resources and we are open for business. Today, Canada is one
of the largest mining nations in the world producing more
than 60 minerals and metals. Canadian mining companies are
now located in more than 100 countries, involved in more
than 10,000 projects, with assets outside of Canada worth
over $109 billion in 2009.”
“
In 2010 the mining and mineral processing industries
generated over $35 billion in GDP, over $12 billion in capital
investment and $18 billion in trade surplus. During the same
period, more than 308,000 Canadians are directly employed
in mining, exploration and mineral processing, with many
more in related industries.”
