As with other developed nations, the country's economy is dominated by

the service industry which employs about three quarters of Canadians.
Canada has the third highest total estimated value of natural resources, valued at US$33.2 trillion in 2019.
It has the world's third largest proven petroleum reserves and is the fourth largest exporter of petroleum.
It is also the fourth largest exporter of natural gas.
Canada is considered an "energy superpower" due to its abundant natural resources and a small population of 37 million inhabitants relative to its land area.

Canada's mining industry is one of the largest in the world.

Canada's mining industry is one of the largest in the world.

Producing more than 60 metals and minerals, Canada is among the top five worldwide producers of 14 different commodity metals and minerals.

Mining industry is a mainstay of the economy that supports jobs and economic activity in every region.

Canada is the global leader in the production of potash and

ranks among the top five global producers for cadmium, cobalt, diamonds, gemstones, gold, graphite, indium, nickel, niobium, platinum group metals, salt, titanium concentrate and uranium.
Canada also accounts for a significant proportion of the global production of primary aluminum from imported bauxite and alumina.

Canadian cities provide regional bases for supporting exploration, mining and allied

industries through specialized equipment and service suppliers. Large urban areas, such as Toronto and Vancouver, are also recognized as global hubs for mining and mineral exploration, financing and legal services.

Exploration and deposit appraisal expenditures and metals and minerals price index,

1998–2019

Spending on mineral exploration and deposit appraisal activity depends largely on market conditions and commodity prices. Over the last decade, mineral and metal prices fluctuated significantly, reaching a historic high in 2011, which was followed by a period of decline that ended in 2016, when the prices of most precious and base metals began to rise again. The recovery of mineral prices continued until the first half of 2018 but the remainder of 2018 saw prices steadily decline.

In 2018, Ontario

was the leading jurisdiction in terms of spending on mineral exploration, followed by Quebec and British Columbia. These three jurisdictions accounted for 62.6% of total exploration and deposit appraisal expenditures.

Two types of companies work in mineral exploration:
Senior companies normally derive

recurring operating revenues from mining or other business segments. These are not necessarily mining companies.
Junior companies have no internally generated revenue (i.e., they do not have an operating mine) and rely mostly on equity markets to raise the capital necessary to conduct their exploration programs.
Junior mining companies tend to specialize in early-stage exploration activities, while senior companies are more likely to bring mines into production.

In 2018, the direct contribution of Canada's minerals sector to Canada's gross

domestic product (GDP) was $72.4 billion, which represented 3.5% of Canada's total GDP. The indirect impacts from the minerals sector added a further $25.4 billion to GDP, for a total impact of $97.7 billion.

The minerals sector offers well-paid, high-quality jobs for Canadians across the

country, including many in northern and remote locations.
In 2018, the minerals sector directly employed 409,000 individuals and indirectly employed an additional 217,000, for a total of 626,000 individuals.
At $119,000, the average annual total compensation per job in the mining industry is nearly twice the all-industry average of $60,000.

Canada is primed to respond to increased demand for both traditional

and emerging commodities needed in the production of clean technology applications.
The country is a key global producer of copper, nickel and cobalt, and hosts a number of advanced mineral projects for rare earth elements, lithium and graphite. These commodities are crucial in the production of solar cells, high-density batteries and wind turbines.
