PDAC VIDEO : Canada unveils C$1.5B mine-to-market fund
Canada is signaling a stronger push to accelerate critical mineral development as global supply chains tighten and geopolitical tensions reshape demand for resources.
Speaking from the podium at the PDAC convention in Toronto, federal Energy and Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson announced a C$1.5 billion First and Last Mile infrastructure fund aimed at connecting mines to roads, power and transport networks.
Ontario’s Energy and Mines Minister Stephen Lecce also confirmed the province will begin consultations on an updated critical minerals strategy.

Whats not ever being mentioned is that Alberta has the medium as well as the raw materials. With Fortune Minerals less than 2 years away from operation I feel that we need to push harder and faster on Fortune Minerals (FT). All minerals need processing and with Fortune being the ONLY conversion factory almost ready to go I would think there would be more attention placed on Fortune Minerals. In fact Utah will be shipping its raw diggings to Fortune for conversion into the separate critical minerals. I would think that Fortune should be adding a small smelter operation to convert melt metals into pure bars, gold and silver especially.
