Critical minerals are the minerals essential for sustainable economic success, economic security, the energy transition, and a reliable resource supply chain. Alberta has potential for many of these minerals and as of 2022, there are several exploration projects focused on discovering critical mineral deposits in the province. Since 2016, industry has focused a lot of attention on discovering lithium and helium potential due to an increased global demand for these minerals and because they are commonly found in oil and gas fields in Alberta. However, lithium and helium are not the only critical minerals that have the potential for production in Alberta. Other critical minerals of interest in Alberta include, but are not limited to, uranium, potash, and vanadium.
