Nova Scotia's most advanced copper project is Cape Breton’s Coxheath mine where copper was first mined in the 1800s. Coxheath is being actively explored now in the hope of returning it to production.

@MiningNS: "At the end of the day, it’s going to help us create more jobs and opportunities for Nova Scotians. It’s going to help give our kids more opportunities to stay in the province."

There are many misconceptions about uranium but here’s a fact: it saves lives!
In Canada, over 1.3 million diagnostic scans and thousands of radiation therapy treatments for cancer patients are performed annually thanks, in part, to uranium mining. https://t.co/dus8AVT30U

Gold is considered a safe haven in uncertain economic times like this.
It is also essential in all modern electronics, including electric vehicles and phones.
75% of Nova Scotians support mining gold (https://t.co/opeT8w9zSy).

Saskatchewan has been one of the top global suppliers of uranium since the 1950s.
If uranium actually caused the problems that some allege, the people of Saskatchewan would tell us so. Instead, 83% of them support uranium mining.

Reclamation is a key part of mining.
Before getting operating permits, Nova Scotian mining companies must get government approval of reclamation plans and post reclamation bonds (money in escrow, basically) to ensure sites are fully reclaimed at no cost to taxpayers.

We need huge quantities of lithium to achieve climate goals, which means we need many new lithium mines - like the potential one in Brazil Lake, Yarmouth County.

Cape Breton coal was essential to the war effort in WWI as a fuel and an ingredient in steel.
However, it made another, little-known contribution to the Allies’ victory – providing the key element for the explosive, TNT.
