This is big news for B.C.’s mining sector – we are introducing fixed permitting timelines for mineral exploration, backed by new investment.
Last year was one of the biggest years for mining investment in B.C. history, with $750.9M going into exploration.
BC’s mining sector is providing thousands of jobs for British Columbians while bringing hundreds of millions of dollars into Canada’s economy.
We’re making the permitting process faster, so we can unlock BC’s potential as the economic engine of Canada’s new economy.
