A half century in Canadian mining, 1898-1947 / by W. H. Losee.: CS26-D-58/1948E-PDF
"During the period 1898 to 1947, large areas have been opened up for development; our mines' production has increased many-fold; we have supplied no small part of the metals and minerals needed by the Empire, and our allies in two world conflicts, and have emerged from the last one in a strategic position both from the point of view or future supply and metallurgical development not comparable to any other country with the same population. The products of our mines, which in the earlier part of the century were exported for treatment, are now refined here in large measure, and form a goodly part of the raw materials used for further advance in manufacturing, thus enabling Canada to get the maximum benefit from the export market and to reduce our imports of those metals which Canadian sources can supply"--p. 1.
