Research and development in the mineral sector / Margot J. Wojciechowski.: M38-13/89-2E-PDF

"Canada has the potential for good long-term development of its mineral resources, and needs to maintain a competitive position for crude minerals in export markets. Therefore, Canada should strongly support the mineral exploration and mining sectors. This conclusion is reinforced by the finding that most of the other countries in this study, which represent much of the world's mining technology and mining education expertise, are in or are approaching the decline phase of their mining industries' life cycles. They are also dependent on imported crude minerals, and are turning their R&D focus away from primary resources towards substitution and efficiency in the use of raw materials. This pattern of R&D focus is not appropriate for Canada, although it is in fact being followed"--Summary of conclusions, p. ii.
