This is in line with our broader re-industrialization policy. Mining is currently a relatively high-risk, low-reward endeavour with high strategic value. The government must proactively invest and build confidence in the industry.
Additional Goals
Build out a strategic reserves of the minerals
Boost investment in underdeveloped provinces and territories that have resources but not much industry
Ensure that benefits are communicated and shared with all indiginous people near the resources
Notes
Ease foreign investment (except for controlling/significant shares to be given to adversaries)
They are important to many advanced technologies, including batteries, semiconductors, and green tech
Local manufacturers must not be offered worse deals than foreign manufacturers
Only western country with all the necessary elements within borders for battery manufacturing
Better road infrastructure has to be part of boosting mining
