July Monthly Mining Roundup
Join Prospector for our July Monthly Mining Roundup Livestream, where we'll be exploring a crucial global issue: the famine in Sudan.
We're honored to host representatives from USAID to discuss the ongoing crisis and, more importantly, how the mining industry can play a vital role in addressing it. This livestream will delve into the complex causes of the famine and highlight how mining-related solutions—from fertilizer production to water supply technologies—can make a significant impact.

- The new guidelines issued by Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne highlight the strategic importance of Canada's critical minerals and aim to shield domestic firms from foreign acquisitions.

Opinion: Want More Investors? Act Local
