AME

“The paradox… is a sector enjoying unprecedented political alignment – from climate competitiveness to supply-chain security – while the day-to-day rules for staking, permitting and access risk are starving the pipeline of the discoveries Canada needs.” AME President & CEO Todd Stone talks with @northernminer about the state of the mineral exploration sector in British Columbia. Thank you to @henrylazenby for an excellent and concise summary.

Access, access, access. That's the message AME President & CEO Todd Stone heard when he visited Nelson to attend the Minerals South conference hosted by the East Kootenay Chamber of Mines this week.

In a conversation with East Kootenay Chamber of Mines President Jason Jacob,  he hears about what members have been saying at Minerals South, and how provincial government can help mineral exploration to boost BC’s economy and future.

"I'd like to see the BC government put absolute number one priority on getting our economy rolling again."

At last week's AME Town Hall in Vancouver, President & CEO Todd Stone had the chance to talk to AME member Patricia Mohr, commodity expert and developer of the Scotiabank Commodity Price Index, about what it takes to accelerate the mineral exploration and development sector in BC.
