An article from Jennifer Wasylyk and Carla Potter titled “What Canada’s Sovereign Wealth Fund, Defence Industrial Strategy Mean for Miners,” has been published by mining.com. Write Jennifer & Carla:
“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. Cassels is focused on what mining companies and industry participants need to know about these developments and how they intersect.”
