Canada to Enhance Global Supply Chains for Critical Minerals Amid Rising Demand
The IEA's Critical Minerals Review highlights Canada's potential to secure and diversify global critical mineral supply chains. With 56 active projects in 2024, Canada is positioned to increase its production of nickel, lithium, graphite, cobalt, and rare earth elements. The country's lithium reserves could meet approximately half of the global demand from 2030 to 2050, strengthening its role as a major supplier.

Canada is emerging as a key player in the global supply of critical minerals, according to the IEA's Critical Minerals Review. In 2024, there are 56 active mining projects across Canada focusing on nickel, lithium, graphite, cobalt, and rare earth elements.
The country is working to cover multiple stages of the supply chain domestically and has significant production capacity potential. Notably, Canada's lithium reserves could meet about 50% of the global demand from 2030 to 2050, contributing to diversified and secure mineral supply chains amidst concentration risks from dominant suppliers.
