Mining contributes to everything in our daily lives but economically-viable mineral deposits are rare. Only one in every 10,000 mineral exploration projects ends up being a mine. That's why it is important to develop mineral deposits when we can. notyourgrandfathersmining.ca… #nspoli

We need to do more mining in stringently regulated democracies like Canada, and less in countries that do not share our values or take proper care of the environment and safety. Learn more at facebook.com/MiningNS/posts/… #nspoli

Smoke detectors save lives – thanks to uranium! Uranium makes smoke detectors possible in two ways. See how at facebook.com/MiningNS/posts/… #nspoli

The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, the federal regulator of uranium mines, says on its MYTHBUSTERS page: “Mining activities are safe for the health of people and the environment.” Get the facts about uranium: tmans.ca/uranium #nspoli

The Atlantic Economic Panel is yet another voice saying that resource industries like mining offer a huge opportunity to create jobs and opportunity, and to help pay for essential government programs like health, education and roads. #nspoli

Batteries are increasingly important in ensuring stable electricity supply as we transition to clean energy. So, where are all those batteries, and the critical minerals they are made of, going to come from? Find out at facebook.com/MiningNS/posts/… #nspoli

Uranium mining helps make possible: 1. Emissions-free nuclear energy needed to achieve climate goals. 2. Radiation therapy for cancer patients and many other medical procedures. 3. Smoke detectors that keep our families safe. Get the facts: tmans.ca/uranium #nspoli

“Canada is set to play a leading role in supplying the world with responsibly produced critical minerals,” according to @IEA. Nova Scotia should do everything it can to both contribute and get its share of the jobs and economic benefits. facebook.com/MiningNS/posts/… #nspoli

Reclamation is a key part of mining. Before getting operating permits, Nova Scotian mining companies must get government approval of reclamation plans and post reclamation bonds (money in escrow, basically) to ensure sites are fully reclaimed at no cost to taxpayers. #nspoli
