An article titled “Canada’s Strategic Shift: What the Mining Industry Needs to Know About Canada’s New Sovereign Wealth Fund and Defence,” written by Carla Potter and Jennifer Wasylyk has been published in the June/July 2026 edition of Canadian Mining Journal.
Write Carla and Jennifer: “Two recent federal initiatives – the launch of the Canada Strong Fund, Canada’s first national sovereign wealth fund, and the federal government’s Defence Industrial Strategy – together signal a material shift in how mining projects may be financed, prioritized and regulated going forward. These initiatives reflect an increasingly strategic view of critical minerals as national assets, not just commodities, with implications across capital markets, project development, supply chains and governance. What do mining companies and industry participants need to know about these developments and how they intersect?”
