- Canada, with its population of just over 33 million people has a long history of mining and is rich in natural resources. The mining industry is predicted to grow for the next few years, as Canada has a favorable investment climate, sustained high commodity prices, plus continued world demand for minerals and metals (specifically China and India). Canada continues to be a world leader in producing and exporting many important minerals and metals.
- In 2007, Canada’s mineral production was valued at $40.4 billion, up from $34 billion in 2006. This 19% increase was due to significant growth in the value of metal and non-metal mineral production.
- The U.S. continues to have a strong presence in the Canadian market with an import market share of 63.8% in 2007, an increase of 1.5% over 2006.
