Today, we pause to remember.

We honour the Canadians who served and those who gave their lives, and we recognize the veterans and serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces who continue to serve today.

Lest we forget.

Vancouver’s reputation as a global mining hub isn’t just local pride. It’s recognized by investors around the world.

Nearly 1,000 publicly listed mining and exploration companies are based in Metro Vancouver, supported by a deep network of professionals in engineering, geoscience, finance, law, technology and other services working on projects across BC and around the globe.

That concentration of expertise connects communities, businesses and opportunities across the province.

There’s more mining in Halloween than you might think. 🎃⛏️

From the copper wiring that powers porch lights to the minerals and metals found in our phones, vehicles and electronics, mined materials are part of the things we use every day — Halloween included.

No tricks here. Just another reminder that minerals and metals are all around us.

Happy Halloween from MABC! 👻

The Mining Association of BC congratulates premier-elect @LDoerkson and @Conservative_BC on forming a majority government.

We extend our thanks to every candidate who ran and to those departing the BC Legislature for their service to our province.

BC’s incoming provincial government has the opportunity to unlock the full potential of British Columbia's mineral resources and create more economic activity, investment, government revenue, and family-supporting jobs and paycheques in communities across the province.

We look forward to working with the new BC Conservative government to make mining the growth engine it can be, advance responsible resource development, and deliver the critical minerals, precious metals and steelmaking coal the world needs while securing BC’s economic future and long-term prosperity.

With the right policies, mining can help build a stronger BC within a stronger Canada.

MABC President & CEO, @goehring_m was pleased to be in Kitimat this week for @Events_N2N's 10th Annual Forum.

Opening the forum’s final day, Michael shared an update on the state of BC mining, highlighting the industry’s growing momentum and the critical role it plays in strengthening our province.

Kitimat is a prime example. Home to @RioTinto's BC Works, one of the world’s most efficient aluminum smelters, it demonstrates how resource development supports local jobs, communities, attracts investment, and delivers economic benefits across BC.

Northern communities like Kitimat and others are proof that when mining succeeds, communities thrive, creating jobs, attracting investment, and strengthening northern British Columbia's economic future.

If we want to create more high-paying jobs in BC, grow our economy, and supply the critical minerals, precious metals, and steelmaking coal the world needs, we need to get more mines built.

MABC was in Williams Lake for the latest stop on our mining roadshow, hosted by the Williams Lake & District Chamber of Commerce.

MABC President & CEO @goehring_m joined Jason McCleery, @SMSEquipmentInc, Darren Mawhinney and Ainsley Wooding of @TrekorMetals to discuss mining’s role in making BC’s economy strong, the opportunities ahead for the sector, and the jobs and paycheques mining brings to communities in the Cariboo region and across the province.

Located north of Williams Lake, @TrekorMetals’s Gibraltar Mine is the second-largest copper mine in Canada and is one of the Cariboo’s most important economic drivers. The Gibraltar mine directly employs 800 people and supports an estimated 2,860 full-time jobs when contractors, suppliers, and other indirect employees are included.

@ImperialMetals’ Mount Polley copper-gold mine is also in the region, supporting more than 400 direct jobs and contributing approximately $245 million to BC’s GDP annually.

Both mines support a large network of contractors, equipment suppliers, transportation providers, First Nations businesses, and local service companies throughout the Cariboo-Chilcotin.

SMS Equipment plays a significant role by supplying and servicing large mobile equipment fleets used at mining projects in the region as well as other regional mining developments. SMS is one of more than 130 active mine suppliers in Williams Lake that benefit from more than $100 million in mine spending that is injected directly into the Williams Lake economy.

Thank you to the Williams Lake & District Chamber of Commerce, Tamara Garreau, and Vanessa Riplinger for hosting, to @TrekorMetals and @SMSEquipmentInc for sponsoring, and to everyone in the community who joined us for the conversation.

MABC was pleased to attend @GrattonPierre’s final address to the @BoardofTrade and BC’s mining community as President & CEO of @theminingstory.

The event opened with @TeckResources' Brock Gill outlining the scale of the opportunity ahead. With global demand for critical minerals accelerating, the Teck-Anglo American merger represents a $100B+ opportunity, creating one of the world’s largest critical minerals companies and a top five copper producer headquartered in Vancouver.

Pierre reflected on industry changes over the past 25 years. Once construed as a sunset industry, mining is now at the centre of policy conversations about economic growth, technological change, energy security, and sovereignty.  Recent public opinion research for the @theminingstory suggests that the ’critical minerals’ narrative has dramatically improved public support for responsible mining in Canada.

In discussion with Sharon Singh, @BennettJonesLaw, Pierre offered a note of caution: the biggest threat to the industry’s continued success is complacency.
His parting line to the audience was fitting, “mining is not walking off into the sunset, just me.”

Congratulations @GrattonPierre, on an incredible career. MABC thanks you for your leadership and the contributions you have made to both the British Columbia and Canadian mining industries.
