In Canada

The atlas has 199 sites on record in Canada.

Country profile: CanadaCompare with another site

Sites come from a USGS compilation for Latin America and the Caribbean that describes 2014, the national surveys of Australia (plants, mines, critical-mineral deposits), Canada (mines, smelters, refineries, critical-mineral projects) and Sweden (mines in operation and significant prospects), a 2022 database of coal and metal mines, and mine areas mapped by OpenStreetMap volunteers (marked as estimated). A deposit or a project is not a mine and is never counted as one. Processing plants in Asia, Africa and Europe are mostly missing. A missing facility means it is not in these sources, not that it does not exist.

Money

Capacity and yearly production as the sources record them. The atlas has no revenue, cost or value figure for a single site.

Production by year

Tonnes, as the database took them from company and agency reports. Years without a reported figure are left out, not filled in.

These figures are informational, not financial advice.

Sustainability

Four indicators, the same on every profile. For a single site most of them are properties of the place or the country, and are labelled so.

  • Carbon

    Emissions intensity of the electricity grid of Canada: the country's grid, not this site's.

    192gCO2e/kWh

    2025Reported

    Higher than 25% of the other 208 countries with a grid figure.

    • The atlas has no record of this site's own power supply or emissions.
  • Water

    Baseline water stress of the sub-basin the site lies in.

    Low (<10%)

    2023Estimated

    This is a class, not a figure, so no percentile is given.

    • 0.1% of the available supply is withdrawn in the sub-basin.
    • A modelled property of the place, not a measure of the site's own water use.
    • "Arid and Low Water Use" is a class of its own in the source and is not counted as high.
  • Land

    Land visibly used by mining.

    Not available per site: the atlas holds the mapped area per country only.

    • Mapped from satellite images for all mining in a country. It cannot be attributed to one material or one site.
  • Circularity

    Recycling's share of demand.

    Not available per site: the atlas has no recycling figure for single sites.

There is no overall score: the four figures measure different things and are not added up. How to read these figures

Risks & policy

Export controls in force

Compiled by USGS, effective January 2026. Not a live feed.

USGS Table 4 lists no export control by Canada for the materials of this site.

Chokepoints at sea

The atlas has no record of which minerals pass through which sea passage, so no chokepoint figure is attached to this profile. Current ship counts for the main passages are on the Live page. Open the Live page

What the atlas does not know about sites

Sites come from a USGS compilation for Latin America and the Caribbean that describes 2014, the national surveys of Australia (plants, mines, critical-mineral deposits), Canada (mines, smelters, refineries, critical-mineral projects) and Sweden (mines in operation and significant prospects), a 2022 database of coal and metal mines, and mine areas mapped by OpenStreetMap volunteers (marked as estimated). A deposit or a project is not a mine and is never counted as one. Processing plants in Asia, Africa and Europe are mostly missing. A missing facility means it is not in these sources, not that it does not exist.

History & talk

Revision history and discussion are coming soon.

Every change to a figure will be listed here with its source, its credit and its review, and each profile will have a place to discuss it. Until then the data changes only when a source is updated, and every figure links to that source.
