Mineral exploration association president says pause is a chance to get things right for everyone

The president of B.C.’s Association for Mineral Exploration says a pause on changes to the province’s Land Act is a welcome step toward providing the regulatory certainty industry is looking for.

The lion’s share of that investment, 61 per cent, was made in Northwest B.C. where Jutla said the grassroots work of economic reconciliation is taking place. He noted 21 per cent of 2022 spending went to Indigenous-associated businesses.
