Critical Minerals Americas Inc.

presented by: Shahe’ Sabag, Technical Director

Constrained supplies of critical metals compel the discovery of metal deposits hosting long term domestic supplies which can advance into production quickly. Bulk mineable deposits which are at surface offer the best such opportunities, especially if advantaged with infrastructure and supplies of reagents nearby. Mineralized Zones have been discovered in black shales at the 850km2 SBH Property held by Critical Minerals Americas Inc., adjacent to the Alberta oil sands. The Zones are mineralized with recoverable Rare Earth Elements, Lithium and Scandium, and offer opportunities capable of supporting mining operations over many decades which will also consume much of the waste Sulphur from oil sands operations in addition to consuming CO2. The foregoing have potential for operations which can advance quickly toward production as bulk mineable metallic aggregations extractable by open pit rip-mining methods, whose contained metals are recovered by bioheapleaching processes using naturally occurring bio-organisms.

Will public opinion help or hinder Canada’s critical mineral ambitions?

presented by Lynn Exner, COO, Canada Action Coalition

Canada has the deposits, expertise, and technology needed to be a world leader in critical mineral supply. This aligns with our responsibility to contribute to global energy security and our collective drive to net zero.  But despite industry and government aspirations, we still face enormous challenges in executing these objectives. Without public literacy and support, Canada risks letting yet another opportunity pass us by. Can government and industry collectively overcome these challenges and bring the public on board? Or does a culture focused on the negatives of resource development risk upending our  transition and economic goals?
