First time in past ten years no province has cracked the top ten on the investment rankings in Fraser Institutes’ survey of mining execs

Global commodity investors are taking note as Canada grapples with cancelled projects and entrenched opposition to the development of its resources.

The top three most attractive global mining jurisdictions for investment this year were Western Australia, Finland and Nevada. Alaska, Portugal, Idaho, South Australia, Republic of Ireland, Arizona, and Sweden completed the top 10 list. Saskatchewan, Canada’s most investment friendly mining destination in this year’s survey, also saw investor unease amid policy changes.

“Drilling permits in B.C. take too long and are a great deterrent for investors,” said a company president quoted anonymously in the report. “There’s certainly industry gossip, but I think when you have that kind of investment it answers a lot of questions.”“While provincial and federal governments remain supportive of the mining industry in theory, regulatory complexity remains a burden and a barrier for investors,” said one unnamed analyst about Ontario.
