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 power BC? Without materials such as copper, steel, concrete, silver, and rare earths, much green technology would not exist in the same capacity. Each windmill, hydroelectric dam, or solar panel is made from materials from the earth.
