Thanks for this, Steve. Two items of note, first from page 38:

"In rural, northern, and remote regions, infrastructure gaps also hamper mineral development. To boost or develop new mine production, and to do so in a cost-effective and environmentally responsible manner, the Government of Canada will look for opportunities to partner with the private sector in financing new projects, support building the necessary infrastructure for priority deposits, advance innovation to improve efficiency and environmental performance, strengthen Indigenous engagement, and streamline regulatory and permitting processes."

And further, on page 27:

Budget 2022 proposed $1.5 billion for infrastructure development for critical mineral supply chains, with a focus on priority deposits....Strategic infrastructure investments in green energy and transportation are required to unlock critical mineral regions, while also improving environmental performance and driving emissions reductions in existing operations through electrification – enabling competitive development of Canada’s critical mineral resources.

Yet nowhere do they mention which are the "priority deposits." Inquiring minds want to know....

It does say of the 31 critical minerals, top 6 prioritized include copper, so Casino could be implied I suppose.
