Traduction de «mineral resources » (Anglais → Français) :

- setting up a land use planning policy for minerals that comprises a digital geological knowledge base, a transparent methodology for identifying mineral resources, long term estimates for regional and local demand and identifying and safeguarding mineral resources (taking into account other land uses) including their protection from the effects of natural disasters;

The project ProMine, launched in 2009 with a € 17 million budget, will develop the first pan-European satellite-based mineral resources database and a 4D computer modelling system to help to assess the value of European mineral resources.

Mineral resources including metal ores, industrial minerals, etc., where relevant including depth/height information on the extent of the resource.

Already in September 1982, a report on the Canadian mineral industry identified five areas of urgency requiring immediate government intervention; there was urgency then, they said. They were: preventing further erosion of Canada's economic competitiveness in certain key areas of mineral production, including those of copper and nickel; halting and reversing the depletion of mineral reserves; finding new ideas and developing technologies, policies and programs to encourage greater efficiency in mining exploration; reversing the apparent trend of mining investors, including Canadian multinationals, to drop Canada in favour of countrie ...[+++]s in Latin America, Asia or the Pacific and other areas of development in the world where resources are plentiful; and, finally, generally creating a political and regulatory context better suited to maintain industry viability and stimulate investment in mining exploration.

As early as September 1992, in its report on the mineral industry, the intergovernmental working group on the mineral industry identified five urgent issues necessitating government intervention. They were the following: first, stopping the erosion of Canadian producers' competitiveness in certain key sectors of mineral production, including copper and nickel; second, increasing reserves of base metals in Canada; third, finding new ideas and developing technology, policies and programs to make grassroots prospecting more efficient, so that new high calibre mineral deposits can be discovered, like the one at Louvicourt, close to Val d'O ...[+++]r; fourth, reversing the obvious trend among mining investors, including Canadian mining multinationals, of passing Canada over in favour of developing countries in Latin America, Asia, or the Pacific with rich resources; fifth, in general, implementing a policy and regulatory framework that is more conducive to maintaining the viability of the industry and stimulating investment in the exploration and development of minerals in Canada.

Some of these measures are included in the keep mining in Canada 10 point program: establish a process for land use planning that respects mineral tenure to ensure both the protection of Canada's natural heritage and access for mineral resource development; streamline federal-provincial environmental regulations to avoid costly duplication and delays; implement an appropriate incentive to stimulate grassroots mineral exploration; change tax laws on mine reclamation funding to encourage investment in new mines; launch a national in ...[+++]itiative to build necessary infrastructure for northern Canada's economic self-reliance.
