Canada's minerals and metals sector is an important part of our economy. The sector provides good, high-paying jobs and a substantial share of our exports. Canada's minerals and metals sector also supports other key parts of our economy, such as transportation, and information and communication technology.
Mining and minerals- and metals-related industries provide the social and economic basis for over 100 communities across Canada, home to 700 000 Canadians -- mainly in rural, remote and northern areas.
