British Columbia is a world-class centre for exploration and development. Half
of Canada's proposed new mines (greater than 25) are in the province. Potential
new mines and major mine expansions, totaling over 50 over the next five to six
years, will require in excess of $30 billion in capital expenditures and will
create over 15,000 new jobs. More than 1,200 (65%) of Canadian exploration
companies and 2,400 service companies are based in BC. Moreover, in 2012,
companies operating in British Columbia raised approximately 40% ($5.3 billion)
of all Canadian exploration dollars, with projects in BC accounting for about
20% of exploration expenditures in Canada. Exploration spending during 2012
reached a record $680 million. A full abstract of Tom Schroeter's talk is
