WATCH LIVE TODAY: How can we attract investment in B.C.'s critical minerals?

Both the federal and B.C. governments tout as a priority investment in critical mineral mines, such as copper and nickel.

It is far more lucrative for a mining company to go after gold and silver deposits, given the soaring prices for both metals.

But critical minerals are essential to the national economy because they are used in everything from mobile phones and electric vehicle batteries to medical equipment and defence systems.

So how can multi-billion-dollar critical mineral mines be financed in this province? What can Ottawa and Victoria do to assist?

Please join us on today at 4:50 p.m. for the next Conversations Live hosted by Stuart McNish on the topic of attracting investment to critical mineral projects.

The panel discussion will be here and you can submit your questions to our panel below:

The panelists:

• Lisa Davis, the CEO of PearTree Securities
