“Mining: Supporting Local and Global Communities” is the focus of this year’s Saskatchewan Mining Week, which takes place May 26 to June 1.
“Saskatchewan’s mining sector provides clean energy and food security to the world,” Saskatchewan Mining Association Chair Tammy Van Lambalgen said.
More than 30,000 people in Saskatchewan are employed directly or indirectly by the mining industry, which is a key economic sector for the provincial economy. The province is a world leader in potash and uranium production, offering a diverse range of other minerals, while generating $7 billion in sales in 2018. The annual Saskatchewan Geological Open House, where provincial geologists, researchers from universities and industry representatives present their latest findings to a large technical audience from all across Canada, will be marking its 50th anniversary later this year.
In its annual survey of the international mining industry, the Fraser Institute currently ranks Saskatchewan as the third best jurisdiction in the world, and number one in Canada, for its mining investment attractiveness. Saskatchewan is also ranked the number one jurisdiction in the world for mining policy integrity.
The Government of Saskatchewan’s new drilling program, the Targeted Mineral Exploration Incentive, has already triggered a net increase of more than 628,000 hectares of new mineral dispositions. More than $3 billion has been spent on exploration in Saskatchewan since 2003, a significant increase from the decade before. Exploration expenditures in the province in 2018 were $228 million and are estimated to increase to $280 million in 2019.
