New Brunswick is the single best jurisdiction in the world for mining, according to a new study.
In the Fraser Institute’s annual Survey of Mining Companies, New Brunswick shot all the way to first place from 23rd last year, an enormous jump. It supplanted Alberta for the top spot, as the Western Canadian province sank to third.
“New Brunswick shot to the top of the rankings as miners lauded the province for its fair, transparent, and efficient legal system and consistency in the enforcement and interpretation of existing environmental regulations,” Fred McMahon, vice-president of international policy research at the Fraser Institute, said in a statement.
