Critical minerals advanced projects, mines and processing facilities in Canada

This dataset contains primary processing facilities (e.g., smelters and refineries), mines and advanced projects related to Canada’s 31 critical minerals.

Advanced projects are those with mineral reserves or resources (measured or indicated), the potential viability of which is supported by a preliminary economic assessment or a prefeasibility/feasibility study. These sites process, produce or consider producing at least one of Canada's critical minerals, but other minerals and metals may also be present.

This dataset contains links that direct to non-Government of Canada websites that are not subject to the Privacy Act, the Official Languages Act or the Standard on Web Accessibility. Please see our terms and conditions for more information (https://www.nrcan.gc.ca/terms-and-conditions/10847).

Primary processing facilities and mines data are sourced from Map 900A, Principal mineral areas, producing mines, and oil and gas fields in Canada. Data on advanced critical minerals projects are produced and published annually by Natural Resources Canada, in collaboration with provinces and territories. Data are compiled from a variety of public sources. Natural Resources Canada does not assume responsibility for errors or omissions. Please report any recommended revisions.
