Canadian Critical Minerals Forum

The Canadian Critical Minerals Forum represents a key government initiative to advance Canada's position in the global critical minerals supply chain. Hosted by Natural Resources Canada during the PDAC convention, this forum serves as a platform for announcing major strategic partnerships and policy developments in the critical minerals sector. The 2026 forum was particularly significant as it showcased concrete progress under the G7 Critical Minerals Production Alliance, with the Rock Tech-Siemens partnership announcement serving as a prime example of international cooperation translating into real industrial projects. The forum attracts senior government officials, including federal ministers, international representatives, and industry leaders working to establish resilient and sustainable critical minerals supply chains. For industry participants, the forum provides valuable insights into government priorities, funding opportunities, and regulatory developments that will shape the sector's future. The timing alongside PDAC ensures maximum industry participation and media coverage, making it an essential event for companies seeking to understand and influence Canada's critical minerals policy landscape.
