Canada is one of the largest mineral producers globally, producing more than 60 metals and minerals and is among the leading producers of potash, uranium, platinum, indium, aluminium, sulphur, cobalt, nickel, zinc, iron ore, graphite and copper. Furthermore, the country is one of the world's largest importers of bauxite, enabling it to be the world's fourth-largest primary aluminium producer.
Canada’s mining industry is governed by different departments and agencies under provincial governments. However, in cases such as mineral activities on federal lands and offshore areas, as well as the usage of uranium as a nuclear fuel (from exploration to the disposal of mine waste), a pivotal role is played by the federal government. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) governs the tax-related laws in the country. It also manages several socio-economic benefit programs such as incentive systems delivered through the tax system.
