For Marilyne Lacasse, Senior Geologist at FPX Nickel Corp, mineral exploration isn’t just a career — it’s the foundation of the economy.

From the electronics in your pocket to the energy systems powering our future, it all starts in the field with explorers.

She’s one of the many incredible explorers out there finding the minerals Canada needs to bolster our national and industrial sovereignty, stand strong with our allies, and drive economic prosperity for future generations.

AME - Association for Mineral Exploration

It’s a generational opportunity. The question is: will we seize it?

Brirish Columbia has the minerals the world needs — for defence, clean energy, and the technologies that will define the next century.

I joined Deirdra Tindale on The Mining & Minerals Show to talk about the challenges and opportunities facing mineral exploration - and why this moment matters more than ever for Canada.🇨🇦⛏️🏔️

BC has what it takes to be a global critical minerals powerhouse.

But potential alone doesn’t attract investment - certainty does.

Premier Eby’s decision to not bring forward promised amendments to DRIPA until the fall is very disappointing. For mineral explorers, timing matters. Capital moves quickly, and uncertainty slows everything down.

Right now, explorers should be in the field, advancing the projects that will power Canada’s future, not waiting on government to deliver on its commitments.

If we’re serious about responsible resource development, we need a policy environment that is clear, timely, and reliable.

Look no further than mineral exploration and mining.

From high-paying jobs, to cutting-edge technology, to working outdoors in some of the most incredible places in the world.

The opportunities right now, especially for young Canadians, are unmatched.

👉 Trust your gut.
👉 Take smart risks.
👉 Embrace an industry that is building the future in real time.

That was my closing message during my conversation with Stuart McNish on his podcast Careers That Matter.

We also covered my own career journey, from entrepreneur and tech CEO, to MLA and B.C. cabinet minister, to now serving as President & CEO of AME.

Grateful for the conversation, and excited about what’s ahead for the next generation. 🇨🇦⛏️🏔️

Canada’s critical minerals aren’t just an economic opportunity - they’re a matter of global security.

Great interview on Conversations Live with Stuart McNish to talk about our golden opportunity in mineral exploration / mining, and what we must do to seize it.

BC is sitting on the minerals the world urgently needs. Demand is surging. Supply chains are being restructured. The window to lead is open right now.

But without a faster, more predictable permitting process, we risk letting this golden opportunity slip through our fingers.
