Canada is accelerating critical minerals development and building more resilient, diversified supply chains to create prosperity, jobs and enhance our national security. Central to this effort is the creation of the Canadian Digital Core Library (CDCL) — a national platform that will facilitate access to digitized drill core data from across the country. Drill cores provide valuable information about mineral deposits and the size, quality and economic potential of a mineral resource. This information is what allows Canada to identify strategic new mining projects across the country and mine the resources that underpin national defence, advanced manufacturing and the energy transition.
