Description

For many years, Alberta has extensively developed its energy minerals. However, the province also possesses a wide range of other minerals: base and precious metals, gemstones and industrial minerals. To enhance the economic benefit of these resources for all Albertans, Alberta's throne speech for 1999/2000 committed the government to develop a policy on non-energy minerals, streamline the administration of mining regulations, and improve geological information on minerals. Alberta Energy assembled a team from across government to establish the strategies for meeting these commitments. This document presents the results of the work of this team, which is a framework that outlines the vision, goals and strategic directions for ensuring orderly, environmentally responsible mineral exploration and development in Alberta.

Description

In response to changes in the marketplace, Alberta Energy led a project team that studied Alberta's investment competitiveness with a focus on upstream natural gas and conventional oil development. The study assessed the ways in which Alberta's competitive share of energy investment has shifted, and the factors contributing to such shifts. It also considered ways in which Alberta can improve its ability to attract natural gas and conventional oil investment. The Government of Alberta reviewed the project committee's resulting Technical Report and has accepted its recommendations on the most effective ways to improve Alberta's competitiveness in conventional upstream oil and gas. This framework outlines the actions that the government will take to improve the province's competitiveness in these areas.
