"Unless and until processing is available in other locations, there will be a natural collision between the concerns over foreign control by Canadian governments and the fact that the customer and source of investment capital is outside Canada."

At the same time, the provinces’ depth of mining expertise – from AI-driven exploration to advanced drilling, blasting, and geophysics – ensures that technological advantage is firmly on their side.
