This week, AME - Association for Mineral Exploration traveled to BC’s South Okanagan/Boundary region, an area critical to mineral exploration in the province. Our visit included productive discussions with Chief Clarence Louie and the Osoyoos Indian Band Development Corporation focusing on fostering respect-based engagement between our members’ mineral exploration companies and the Band. We also had the opportunity to meet with Grizzly Discoveries Inc. and visit their various exploration projects. This listening tour was instrumental in understanding the unique challenges faced by both groups. By listening and learning from these groups, AME aims to support mineral exploration in BC and collaboratively find solutions to the challenges ahead. A special thank you to Sedgwick Strategies for facilitating and supporting this important tour. #MineralExploration #IndigenousEngagement #BCMining

This weekend at our Vancouver Pride Brunch, we had a valuable opportunity to discuss the importance of 2SLGBTQIA+ representation in mineral exploration and mining. As British Columbia’s critical minerals contribute to a greener future, the success of this transition hinges on the diverse talents and perspectives within our industry. True progress is achieved by cultivating a workforce where everyone feels respected and empowered to excel in their roles. Thank you to all who joined us and happy Pride!

AME was proud to be an active supporter of the Canada and B.C. Infrastructure Upgrades in Northwest B.C. "We welcome today's federal and provincial infrastructure investment in northwest British Columbia as a pivotal moment for our critical minerals industry. This funding underscores the importance of mineral exploration in the region, supporting economic growth, environmental stewardship and collaboration with Indigenous communities. Investments like this assist in unlocking the mineral potential of this resource-rich province." Keerit Jutla, President and CEO, Association of Mineral Exploration The Northwest BC Highway Corridor Improvements Project is a key action of B.C.’s Critical Minerals Strategy, a top priority for the Tahltan Central Government and the mining industry in B.C. and a shared priority of the federal government. It will provide a series of improvements for Highways 37, 37A and 51, which include widening shoulders, creating pullouts for slow-moving vehicles, adding chain up/chain off areas and increasing Wi-Fi access along 800 kilometres of roadway. These upgrades are crucial to allow increased industrial traffic linked to mining activity and will generate well-defined, long-term benefits for First Nations and local communities in the region, including enhanced safety, reliability and accessibility of essential services.
