About Mining Builds British Columbia

Everything used by British Columbians in their everyday lives is either grown or found in the ground. The Mining Builds British Columbia Series covers six essential areas of life where materials derived from mining make a big impact.

How does mining connect BC? Without metals such as copper or industrial minerals such as silica, it would be impossible to do many of the things we do each day. Every smartphone, computer, television, radio, battery, and satellite is made possible by such materials.
