"I drive an EV and in B.C., the electricity
to power my car comes from renewable
hydroelectric power, another piece of
the clean energy puzzle that sets B.C.
apart from other jurisdictions," says
Edie Thome, president and CEO of the
Association for Mineral Exploration BC
(AME). "I am proud that our members,
along with Indigenous partners and
local communities, are contributing in
such a meaningful way to advancing a
green economy, and the opportunity for
us to contribute in a bigger way is here.
Right now, B.C. needs to be ramping up
to further position itself as the leader in
the lower-carbon economy. By working
together, we can lead through our greatest
assets: our geology and our people."
British Columbia is a world leader in
mineral exploration and development
expertise. Exporting this expertise as
well as critical technology metals such as
copper, silver and molybdenum will put
money back into communities across
the province. It will also serve to build
our province's reputation as a world-
class jurisdiction in which to invest.
