Mining-related activities have a strong presence in communities across Canada. The Canadian Minerals and Metals Plan is shining a light on Canada’s sustainable and high-technology minerals industry; building community support for sustainable mineral development projects; and highlighting diverse and exciting careers within the mining sector.

Growing Canadians’ understanding of minerals and metals can help to get communities on board and be prepared for exploration and mining projects in their area. Increasing mineral literacy in Canada can also attract new talent for mining-related jobs and encourage investment. Our hub brings together a wealth of resources for Canadians of all ages related to every aspect of the mineral development cycle – from exploration to mine closure to reclamation and remediation. All resources were developed by governments, industry, associations, non-governmental organizations and academia.

Dig into the following resources to learn more about:

  • diverse and exciting careers in the mining sector
  • the role of traditional Indigenous knowledge in the mining development cycle
  • environmental stewardship
  • academic institutions and programs related to mining for those interested in pursuing a career in the mining sector
