Prospector Podcast – Kareet Jutla “The World Bank Predicts the Need for a Significant Increase in Critical Metals Supply by 2050”

 

 

 

 

Prospector News Michael Fox is joined by Keerit Jutla, President and CEO of AME BC. We discussed a recent court case, Gitxaala vs British Columbia, concerning the consultation with indigenous peoples during the process of granting mineral claims or staking claims. The court found that the Mineral Tenure act is constitutional and did not impact existing mineral claims in British Columbia, but granted the province 18 months to develop a consultation standard for staking. Keerit emphasized the importance of building a staking system with consultation standards, stressing the need for understanding the practical aspects of staking, prospecting, exploration, and mining. Keerit discussed the challenges faced in working with government and other stakeholders over the past year, emphasizing the importance of ensuring government work is within scope. He highlighted the need for clear and transparent standards, and expressed concerns over continuous shifts in goalposts.

 

Keerit also discussed the government’s consultation process regarding a court case, expressing concerns about the government’s unilateral actions and the lack of communication between different stakeholder groups. Furthermore, he clarified the scope of the Mineral Tenure Act and the need for industry associations to maintain their focus, not getting involved in tasks outside their scope. Keerit also expressed hope that the government would respect their proposed solutions and processes, and stressed the need for a fair, stable, and clear system that would not disadvantage smaller players in the industry.

 

He also highlighted the significance of consulting with local communities and ensuring that their voices are heard. He also highlighted the challenges faced in working with government and other stakeholders, and the importance of a fair, stable, and clear system for mineral exploration. Lastly, the need for a reconciliation-focused approach in British Columbia was emphasized, with a focus on evidence-based policy decisions and fairness, particularly in light of the upcoming election. Keerit emphasized the importance of mineral exploration for the Canadian mining industry and its contribution to the country’s economy. He highlighted the need for a significant increase in critical mineral supply by 2050, as per the World Bank’s prediction, and urged the government to adopt a non-exploitative approach to mineral exploration. Keerit also expressed his concerns about the industry being stigmatized and misrepresented, and called for fair representation and access to resources for all British Columbians, regardless of their location. He urged political parties to consider these issues before the upcoming election.

 

Finally, we discussed the need for a reconciliation-focused approach in British Columbia, emphasizing the importance of evidence-based policy decisions and fairness. The need is urgent especially in light of the upcoming Provincial election in October and the deadline set by the judge for March 2025.
