<p style="margin: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;">Fraser Institute, Canada’s leading economic think tank, is now conducting its annual survey of how miners and explorers rate the investment climate of jurisdictions around the world. The results identify the countries, states, and provinces whose mining policies and taxation structure are predictable and transparent and thus create the lowest barriers to investment in the mining sector.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;">Mining ministries around the world &#8212; particularly in Canada &#8212; pay close attention to the survey. The interest shown by Canadian public officials has helped put most Canadian provinces at the top of the policy heap, though more work needs to be done. This points to an interesting fact. Government officials may not fully understand the impact of policy decisions and find the survey a highly useful source of information. Many say they use the survey to determine weak spots in their regulatory regime and correct them.</span></span></p>
