Commodity Boom Sparks Revival in Atlantic Canada's Mining Industry [Atlantic Provinces Economic Council, APEC]

The mining industry in Atlantic Canada is experiencing a revival after several years of stagnant output and declining employment. Strong demand and high commodity prices have led companies to redevelop mothballed projects, expand existing operations such as the potash mine in New Brunswick, and proceed with the development of newly found resources such as the Voisey’s Bay and Duck Pond mines in Newfoundland and Labrador. As a result, the value of metallic minerals produced in the Atlantic region has almost quadrupled since 2003 to reach $4.6 billion in 2006.

The 19th edition of APEC’s Major Projects Inventory identifies 241 projects in various stages of development across Atlantic Canada valued at $44.4 billion, up 19% over last year’s Inventory. Energy and mining investments continue to dominate the list, accounting for about 78% of all Inventory projects. While the overall Inventory is up over last year, activity in 2002 is more muted. Construction is scheduled to begin on three major energy developments in 2003-04, which should make the Atlantic provinces among the economic growth leaders in the country once again.
