Canada and Chile Strengthen Critical Minerals Partnership
Canada and Chile are enhancing their strategic partnership in critical minerals to diversify trade and boost economic growth. The collaboration aims to support sustainable resource development and create jobs through innovative technologies and capacity-building initiatives.

Canada and Chile are advancing their partnership in critical minerals, with a focus on responsible resource development and trade opportunities. At the Conference of Mining Ministries of the Americas in Santiago, Claude Guay, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, facilitated discussions aimed at catalyzing investment and promoting Canadian mining products.
Key initiatives include a partnership between Codelco and MacLean Engineering to enhance underground mining technologies and the Canada-Chile Eureka project, which received $450,000 in funding for research supporting critical infrastructure. The upcoming Canadian Cleantech in Mining Mission to Chile in October 2026 will engage 12 Canadian companies in addressing challenges in the mining sector. The ongoing Canada-Chile Memorandum of Understanding on Critical Minerals has been vital for connecting Canadian innovations with mining opportunities in Chile, promoting sustainable economic growth in both nations.
