Minerals Matter is a podcast series from APF Canada’s Canada–Indo-Pacific Critical Minerals Hub. The series features leading voices from academia, industry, and research institutes to provide evidence-based insights into the rapidly evolving critical minerals landscape in Canada and in the Indo-Pacific, and its broader implications for Canada’s economy, national security, and global partnerships.
In its first season, the podcast explores the big questions shaping today’s debates: why critical minerals matter, what’s driving the geopolitical competition over them, and how Canada can turn its vast mining potential into supply-chain resilience at home and with its allies.
