The Mining Association of British Columbia (MABC) finds in a new independent study that mining is a key driver of economic activity in Metro Vancouver and Vancouver Island, supporting more than 12 300 jobs and contributing more than $3.5-billion in yearly economic output.

MABC tasked Mansfield Consulting to assess the economic impacts of British Columbia’s 18 operating mines and two smelters in Metro Vancouver and Vancouver Island based on 2024 data.
