2021 was a banner year for the mineral industry in Newfoundland and Labrador, with over 800 mineral exploration applications last year. Exploration expenditures nearly doubled from 2020, to just over $127 million. Mineral claim staking activity reached its highest point since the Voisey’s Bay claims 25 years ago. The value of mineral shipments were the highest ever recorded.
