SAGA Metals (TSX-V:SAGA) has joined the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and its Critical Minerals Council, giving the company a forum to participate in national discussions on critical minerals policy and development.
The membership will allow SAGA to engage with policymakers and industry representatives on issues including investment, permitting, trade, and the development of domestic critical minerals supply chains.
SAGA Chief Executive Officer Mike Stier says: “Joining the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and its Critical Minerals Council is a deliberate step as Canada sharpens its focus on critical minerals and energy security.”
The Canadian Chamber of Commerce is one of the country’s largest business associations, representing companies across a range of industries.
Its Critical Minerals Council, established in 2022, includes representatives from across the minerals supply chain and makes policy recommendations on Canada’s critical minerals sector.
Policy discussions
SAGA says the memberships will provide opportunities to discuss regulatory, financial, and strategic issues affecting critical minerals projects.
These discussions are particularly relevant to the company’s portfolio, which includes titanium, vanadium, iron, rare earth elements, lithium, and uranium.
Stier says: “Being part of these national forums gives SAGA a seat at the table as policy is shaped and allows us to contribute to building secure, domestic supply chains.”
The company says the move also aligns with federal and provincial commitments highlighted in August to support clean energy and infrastructure investment in Labrador.
SAGA Metals is a North American exploration company with critical minerals projects in Labrador and Québec.
