Senior leaders from across Canada’s critical minerals mining sector will share insights on how they’re advancing and investing in projects, what’s driving momentum, and where barriers remain. This session will provide timely insights into national opportunities, the case for streamlined permitting, and the potential for a pan-Canadian approach to critical minerals development.

• What are the most strategic opportunities and pressing challenges for advancing and investing in critical minerals projects across the country?
• How are current permitting and regulatory processes supporting - or stalling-development timelines?
• What infrastructure or logistical gaps are most limiting, and how are you working to overcome them?
• How are you engaging Indigenous partners in your projects, and what have been the keys to meaningful, long-term collaboration?
• Is there real value in a more streamlined, pan-Canadian approach—and what would it take to get there?
• How can Canada position itself to compete globally - particularly with China and other dominant players-in securing market share for critical minerals?
