Why doesn’t B.C. have mining regulations that Brazil, Ecuador and China already have?

$1:
Mining is big business in B.C. The industry brought in $9.5 billion in gross mining revenues in 2020, employs more than 11,000 people and the province is home to over 1,200 mineral and exploration companies.

B.C.’s mining association has called the province a “leading” and “world-class mining jurisdiction.” But when it comes to mining regulations, there are a few examples where B.C. is lagging behind the rest of the world.

The Narwhal is tracking mining regulations that exist in other countries that B.C. doesn’t have. Here are four to get us started.
