Critical Minerals

Demand for lithium, nickel, cobalt, copper and rare earth elements is accelerating as EV production, battery manufacturing and semiconductor fabrication compete for a supply chain historically concentrated in a small number of countries. Canada’s established mining infrastructure and processing capacity position it as a primary alternative supplier as governments and industry work to diversify.

This exhibition assembles the value chain behind that shift: exploration and mining companies, extraction and processing technology, battery-grade material producers, and critical minerals recycling. For investors and government officials, it connects capital and policy directly to the projects building resilient, diversified supply chains. For exhibitors, it provides direct access to the industry leaders and innovators shaping Canada’s critical minerals strategy.
