Book excerpt: To review and assess Canada's international competitiveness for attracting mineral investment, a government/industry task force was formed in September 1991. The Task Force identified a number of issues, including the recent deterioration in Canada's cost competitiveness in key commodity areas of copper and nickel; halting and reversing the decline in Canada's base-metal ore reserves; developing new ideas, technologies, policies, and programs to stimulate more effective primary exploration for new world class ore deposits; reversing the ongoing shift of interest by mineral investors away from Canada and toward the countries of Latin America, Asia Pacific, and other areas of the developing world; and creating a public policy and regulatory framework more conducive to sustaining industry viability and stimulating investment in mineral exploration and development in Canada. This report summarizes the findings and views of the Task Force, describing the economic and geological basis of the Canadian mineral industry; the international status of Canadian mining companies; worldwide competition for mineral investment; and specific areas of concern, including the environmental regulation processes, land access and security of terms, and mineral taxation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: OUT of the Canadian earth come treasures right and rare--gold, silver, uranium. Out of the earth come the raw materials of the industry--iron,copper, nickel, and the like. From deep in the earth flows the petroleum that keeps the wheels moving in our modern economy. Coal for our fires lies under the soil of Canadian prairies, mountains, and coastal seas. From the earth comes the building materials for towns and cities, roads, and bridges. From the earth come the glass and dishes for our homes, the salt for our tables, and the nylons we wear. Every Canadian uses the products of our mines. Many persons are employed in the mining industry, or in the multitude of industries dependent on its products. Many Canadians are investors in the industry, buying shares in mining companies, or processing industries, or the enterprises that sell mineral products to the public. This book is the direct result of the desire expressed by Canadians in many walks ofl ife to know "more about mining." It takes the interested layman on a short trip through the complex mining industry. It describes, very clearly and readably, how the minerals were formed int he earth, how they are found, how they are taken out of the earth, and how the ores are processed and the petroleum transformed to high grade gasoline. It goes farther, telling how a mine is financed, how the prospector, the engineer, the government, the mine operator, financier, and investor combine to make the great Canadian mineral industry what it is. It tells, too, about the "jobs" in the industry--about the opportunities for geologists, geophysicists, engineers, production and physical metallurgists, and many other professions that young Canadians find both challenging and rewarding. This book gives the clue to the "language" of the mining industry--"conglomerate," "stope," "spudding in," "repressuring," "working option," "reorganization," "speculative risk"--to name only a few terms that are read on the financial page every day, and which the intelligent investory wants to understand clearly. Out of the Earth tells about mining as it is today. We meet not just the propector carrying his pick, but the airborne magenetometer, which detects mineral deposits from the sky. Most readers have heard of the use of Geiger counters in locating radioactive substances, but here we read also, for example, about the seismic methods of mineral exploration, by which dynamite is fired in the earth and the shock-wave patterns calculated on instruments. Helping to make important points of the story clear are simple tables and 40 excellent line-drawings and charts. A group of photographs, chosen for informational value as well as pictorial interest, is included.

This study provides a review and assessment of recent domestic and global trends, developments, and issues relevant to the performance and prospects of some of Canada's metals and mineral industry. The report refers to four stages of the minerals industry that are based upon the degree of processing carried out on the products of the industry. The report covers the minerals and metals industry in the Canadian economy; recent trends and short-term outlook in selected mineral commodities; cost trends and competitive position; recent trends in financial performance and investment; corporate financial profiles of selected companies; and grassroots exploration.
