Industry Overview

The Canadian mining sector is one of the largest in the world, but increasingly exposed to environmental, legal, and reputational scrutiny.

Over 200 active mines and thousands of exploration projects
Critical minerals strategy shaping the future of electric vehicles and green energy
Significant activity in Québec, Ontario, B.C., Saskatchewan, and the North
Increased ESG regulation and investor attention
Strong Indigenous rights framework and environmental activism

As both local and global scrutiny grows, timely intelligence becomes a non-negotiable asset for legal, ESG, and operations teams.

Common Challenges

Decentralised Regulations
Environmental and mining rules vary between provinces and territories, making national monitoring complex.


Language and Geography Gaps
Events and narratives in Québec or Indigenous territories may be overlooked by English-only monitoring systems.


Protest and Community Risk Blind Spots
Local opposition can escalate quickly without early warning.


Unstructured ESG Feedback
Tracking how water use, biodiversity, or Indigenous relations are perceived in public discourse is time-consuming and fragmented.


Missed Industrial Accidents or Legal Developments
Localised incidents often first appear in small media outlets or unofficial social channels.
