Description
Undertaking a comprehensive study to analyze:
- The current and future critical mineral investment and financing trends globally and within Canada across the value chain (including details on exploration, mining, processing, materials development, and recycling) for critical minerals outlined on Canada’s Critical Mineral List (see Supplementary Information section) including: lithium, graphite, nickel, cobalt, copper, and rare-earth elements, vanadium, gallium, titanium, scandium, magnesium, indium, manganese, tellurium, zinc, niobium and germanium.
- The role of junior exploration mining companies and senior companies as it relates to investment and financing for critical mineral resource development in Canada and abroad.
- Identify factors within Canada that may be limiting investment in upstream and midstream critical mineral projects and make policy recommendations on how to address these factors when possible. Assess if and why institutional investors have shied away from investing in Canadian critical mineral projects.
- Understand new financing investment models that are emerging in key markets (e.g., US, Australia, EU, UK, Japan, Korea) and evaluate their adoption and potential use in Canada for critical minerals development. This includes, but is not limited to, public-private investment mechanisms and taxation.
- Understand the opportunities, competitive advantages, challenges and barriers present to increase investment and access to capital for Canada’s successful development of its critical minerals industry (exploration, mining, processing, materials development, and recycling).
- Provide and assess policy recommendations in order to address the factors outlined above.
