Overview
From October 2020 to February 2021, stakeholders shared feedback that helped inform the development of a strategy and action plan to re-energize Alberta’s minerals sector.
Worldwide demand for metals and critical minerals is rising due to technological advancements, growing populations, and national security. Alberta needed a modernized strategy to reflect new global conditions, capitalize on our vast resource potential, and get Albertans back to work.
Renewing Alberta’s Mineral Future strategy and action plan was released in November 2021. It was developed with input from various stakeholders and First Nations, Métis, and Indigenous organizations. It is also in alignment with the Canadian Minerals and Metals Plan (released in 2019) and its Action Plan (released in 2021) and the Canada-U.S. joint action plan on critical minerals collaboration.

Outcomes
The Renewing Alberta’s Mineral Future strategy and action plan was released on November 4, 2021. The strategy is a key component of Alberta’s Recovery Plan, furthering work to strengthen and diversify the province’s economy by helping to meet increasing worldwide demand for metals and critical minerals.
Bill 82, the Minerals Resource Development Act, was also introduced on November 4, 2021. If passed, it will create a one-window approach to regulatory oversight of metallic and industrial mineral development.
Mineral Advisory Council
The Mineral Advisory Council was established to provide strategic advice, guidance, and recommendations while government gathered feedback from stakeholders to design a Minerals Strategy and Action Plan for Alberta.
The Mineral Advisory Council:
- provided advice on planned targeted stakeholder engagement throughout the process
- solicited feedback to inform the province’s minerals strategy, action plan and regulatory options
- provided industry and policy advice and recommendations
The council’s advisory work is now complete.
