Nova Scotia has an abundance of natural resources and we have the ability to develop them sustainably and inclusively.
We have many of the critical minerals that our modern world depends on for renewable energy, food production, defense applications, and healthcare. We also have strong environmental regulations to make sure our economy and environment are both sustainable.
This gives Nova Scotia a significant advantage and many opportunities as the world moves to a net-zero economy. By tapping into our vast resources of critical minerals, we can play a central role in this global transition while creating a more resilient and prosperous economy for generations of Nova Scotians.
To advance this effort, Nova Scotia released its Critical Minerals Strategy in March 2024. It includes a list of 16 critical minerals that are found in Nova Scotia. These minerals are in global demand, can help with climate change goals, and present strategic opportunities for the Province.
The strategy is supporting research and the development of a robust critical minerals industry that will create new job opportunities, attract investment, build value chains, and drive sustainable economic growth.
We invite potential partners to contact us and learn more about the critical mineral opportunities that Nova Scotia has to offer. Together, we can help make our province, our country, and our world more sustainable.
