Global Capital Eyes Canadian Miners
The geopolitical chessboard just got a shake. Prime Minister Mark Carney met face-to-face with China’s Xi Jinping for the first time in seven years, signaling a possible reset in relations as Canada looks to expand beyond its southern neighbour. Meanwhile, Canada is leading the charge on a G7 critical minerals pact — one that could unlock capital for miners and reduce reliance on Chinese supply chains. From diplomacy to drill bits, the shift is real.

G7 eyes Canada’s mining muscle
What happened: Canada is taking the lead on a new G7 pact that would guarantee long-term support for critical mineral mining in member nations. Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson confirmed the group is finalizing a deal that would direct G7 capital toward Canadian projects, establish price floors to de-risk investments, and build strategic stockpiles of key materials like lithium, copper, and rare earths.
Catch-up: This comes just days after the U.S. and China agreed to ease export restrictions on critical minerals, prompting G7 allies to rally around a North American alternative. The alliance, once finalized, would effectively create a western counterweight to China’s dominance in global mineral supply chains.
Why it matters: Canada holds the geological advantage but has long struggled to attract the capital needed to scale its mining sector. A G7-backed framework could unlock billions in project financing, stabilize commodity prices, and fast-track approvals for domestic extraction. This is particularly crucial as demand for minerals used in EVs, semiconductors, and clean energy tech continues to soar.
Zoom out: For Ottawa, the pact is more than just trade — it’s about asserting resource sovereignty in a world reshaping around energy security and economic resilience.
That’s why companies on the ground matter more than ever. This week, we’re highlighting several resource firms advancing key projects across Canada — from lithium and copper to uranium and rare earths — all poised to benefit from growing geopolitical urgency around mineral independence.
Vizsla Copper (TSX.V: VCU, OTCQB: VCUFF) is unlocking the massive potential of British Columbia’s copper-rich terrain with major discoveries and a growing resource base.
With a premier gold asset in Idaho and an experienced CEO at the helm, Liberty Gold (TSX: LGD, OTCQX: LGDTF) is shaping up to be one of North America's emerging oxide gold developers.
Cabral Gold (TSX.V: CBR, OTC: CBGZF) is targeting its first production decision at its Cuiu Cuiu project—armed with standout drill results and experienced leadership.
Terra Innovatum (NASDAQ: NKLR) is setting a new standard in nuclear innovation with SOLO, the first commercial-ready micro modular reactor using existing licensed fuel and components.
Arizona Sonoran Copper (TSX: ASCU, OTCQX: ASCUF) is developing a fully permitted copper mine in Arizona with infrastructure, scale, and timing that positions it to help meet critical U.S. copper demand.
Silver47 (TSX.V: AGA, OTCQB: AAGAF) is on the hunt for the minerals that fuel American technology, defense, and clean energy—with silver at the core.
Eloro Resources (TSX: ELO, OTCQX: ELRRF) is exploring for the critical metals powering tech, transportation, and global infrastructure.
LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR, OTCQB: LFLRF, FSE: 3WK0) A gold-focused company positioned near high-grade opportunities in Canada's iconic Abitibi greenstone belt.

Carney and Xi break the ice
What happened: Prime Minister Mark Carney met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in South Korea today, marking the first formal talks between Canadian and Chinese leaders in seven years. The meeting comes as Ottawa looks to thaw a years-long diplomatic freeze and reboot trade relations.
Catch-up: Relations between the two countries soured after years of diplomatic standoffs, trade disputes, and accusations of election interference. But the goal of this meeting was clear: start the long road back to economic cooperation. Carney signaled Canada is open to improving ties, while Xi offered a reciprocal willingness to get things back on track.
Why it matters: Canada’s trade ambitions are facing stiff headwinds. While the U.S. and China recently reached a one-year truce on export controls and tariffs, Canada remains caught in the middle, with high tariffs on Chinese EVs and retaliatory barriers on Canadian canola and seafood still in place. Carney is trying to find an off-ramp from those tensions before Canada’s role in the global trade order diminishes further.
What’s next: Carney accepted an invitation to visit China for more formal discussions. A deal to fully normalize relations may still be far off, but Friday’s meeting signals that both sides are at least willing to start talking again.
