TORONTO, ON—Mining industry executives rate Quebec as the world’s most attractive jurisdiction for mineral exploration and development for the third straight year, according to the annual Survey of Mining Companies 2009/2010, released today by the Fraser Institute, one of Canada’s leading public policy think-tanks.
“Mining executives say Quebec remains an international standout for investment because its stable government policies offer them the certainty that reduces risk for long-term projects,” said Fred McMahon, coordinator of the survey and the Institute’s vice-president of international policy research.
But while mining executives put Quebec at the head of the class in Canada,they have a much less optimistic view of Ontario and British Columbia, citing multiple layers of regulation, little coordination between various government agencies, and uncertainty around aboriginal land claims.
