Collection of data for the Fraser Institute’s 22nd annual survey of mining companies will begin next week and continue until Friday October 26th.

The data collected will allow the survey team to identify those provinces, states, and countries that pose the greatest barriers to investment in the mining sector, as well as the reasons underlying any significant shifts in the jurisdictional rankings from a year ago.

The report on the findings of last year’s survey, Survey of Mining Companies 2017, can be downloaded here.

AIG members are encouraged to contribute.  Greater participation will help to ensure that the results reflect the views of professionals with first-hand knowledge of the mining investment climate in countries around the globe. Broad involvement in the survey will also increase the number of jurisdictions evaluated, thereby providing more governments with candid and anonymous opinions on their mining policies.  

The survey can be completed in less than 15 minutes. All information collected through the survey remains confidential. 

Executives, managers, and other experts with mining exploration and development companies, and their advisors, are asked to complete the 2018 survey questionnaire with respect to jurisdictions about which they are knowledgeable.

To participate in the survey, please contact Ashley Stedman, Senior Policy Analyst, Fraser Institute, Vancouver.
