Ontario unseated Saskatchewan as Canada's Top-Rated Jurisdiction for Mining Investment, Ranking 2nd Globally
The Fraser Institute has released the Annual Survey of Mining Companies, and Ontario has ranked 2nd globally as a top-rated jurisdiction for mining investment.
"The Fraser Institute's mining survey is the most comprehensive report on not only mineral potential but also government policies that either encourage or discourage mining investment," said Elmira Aliakbari, director of the Fraser Institute's Centre for Natural Resource Studies and co-author of the study.
This year's report ranks 68 jurisdictions around the world based on their geologic attractiveness (minerals and metals) and government policies that encourage or discourage exploration and investment, including permit times.
On overall investment attractiveness, Saskatchewan (3rd) ranks in the global top ten for the sixth time in seven years, with Ontario leading in 2nd place globally. In terms of policy factors alone, Alberta ranks in the global top three while Ontario ranks 5th, Newfoundland & Labrador ranks 7th, and Saskatchewan ranks 8th globally.
