The world needs Canada’s critical minerals—and fast. Global demand for priority critical minerals is projected to almost double by 2040. These critical minerals represent a multi-billion dollar economic opportunity for Canada. 

But current investments are not keeping pace with demand, and Canada is in danger of losing out on billions while navigating a volatile and competitive trade environment.

They can do this by sharing financial risks while upholding Indigenous rights and environmental protections.
