Here again, we are talking about strategic metals, for which there are different sectors. Now, strategic metals are not my speciality. However, I am familiar with the mining of gold, copper and some other less strategic minerals, that is, more traditional minerals.
The strategic minerals sector is still developing, and does not yet exist in Canada, hence the importance of areas of expertise and research in universities or with certain equipment manufacturers that are being prepared.
To speed up the process, money, tax credits and government support are needed. If you want to get a full sector up and running faster, funding is key.
