Mining Association of British Columbia

The Mining Association of B.C. (MABC) is the voice of mining in British Columbia.

Our mandate is to encourage the safe development and operation of mining and related facilities across British Columbia. Our forty-plus member companies directly employ thousands of British Columbians and indirectly support thousands of supplier and support jobs in every region of the province.

B.C. has a global reputation as a leading jurisdiction for mining with rich, diverse mineral deposits in every corner of the province.Today, BC’s mineral explorers, mines and smelters, and the local businesses that support them, continue to be foundational to our province’s economy and its future growth, while providing the minerals and metals we all depend on. Our mines have a lower GHG intensity than most of our global competitors and our products are essential to the transition to a low carbon economy.
