STRATEGIC MINERALS
New Brunswick will unveil a new minerals strategy on March 2 at the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada convention in Toronto, focusing on expedited permitting through a one project, one process framework. Minister John Herron stated that the province is advancing projects like Northcliff Resources' Sisson tungsten project and preparing to restart the Lake George antimony mine, which has drawn interest from over 20 companies. The government aims to engage First Nations and has hired PricewaterhouseCoopers to develop the strategy, with plans to revise the Mining Act this spring.
