About Mining Builds British Columbia
Everything used by British Columbians in their everyday lives is either grown or found in the ground. The Mining Builds British Columbia Series covers six essential areas of life where materials derived from mining make a big impact.
How does mining move BC? Without materials such as steel, aluminum, and concrete, it would make everyday transportation much more difficult. Platinum group metals are also essential in the catalytic converters of vehicles, which prevent 4 million tons of harmful emissions in BC per year.
