Session Details
Public geoscience provides essential information for decision-making across the mining value chain—from exploration and resource development to infrastructure planning, environmental assessment, mine operations, potential by-products and post-mining remediation. It helps industry, governments, communities, and other decision-makers better understand the geological, environmental, and resource potential of Canada. As demand for critical minerals and other natural resources grows, access to reliable, authoritative geoscience information is more important than ever.
This session brings together experts from the Geological Survey of Canada, industry representatives, and international counterparts to explore the scope and value of public geoscience, how it supports exploration and resource development, and how geoscience expertise contributes to the broader global picture. Panelists will highlight the range of public geoscience data, maps, publications, and other information products available to users, and explain where and how to access them. Attendees will leave with a better understanding of the diverse applications of public geoscience and greater confidence in finding, evaluating, and using geoscience data and information to support their exploration, development, planning, and decision-making needs.
