Natural Resources Canada’s Minerals and Metals Sector promotes the sustainable development of minerals and metals, and Aboriginal participation in the mining industry. It also develops and distributes a number of information products on Aboriginal participation in exploration and mining.

As part of the Minerals and Metals Policy of the Government of Canada, the Minerals and Metals Sector (MMS) is committed to promoting Aboriginal participation in minerals and metals mining activities throughout Canada. The Sector encourages partnerships and dialogue between Aboriginal communities, the mining industry, and governments to ensure mutual understanding and benefits. MMS also generates and disseminates knowledge, information, and tools for capacity-building and sound decision-making in Aboriginal communities, and works to increase their understanding of mining and its component parts.
