The Alberta government is asking a panel of five experts to come up with a strategy to expand the province's minerals sector. "Their advice will be an important element in reaching our ultimate goal, that is becoming a global destination for mineral investment, exploration and development." The province is looking for innovative ways to develop mineral resources while respecting its environmental obligations, Savage said. "Alberta holds vast lithium resources across the province that are the same-size paradigm globally as the oil reserve," Doornbos said. Alberta is also interested in developing its nuclear energy sector, Savage said.
