If Northwest British Columbia isn’t already on your list of the top investment and trade destinations, it should be!

Northwest British Columbia has a wealth of under-developed forest, mineral, and coastal resources with numerous large-scale projects underway and planned within the coming decade. Over $15 billion in major projects and investment opportunities are planned for the region!

One major sector is forestry and bioenergy. The Northwest BC Forest Coalition comprised of forest tenure holders, stakeholders, First Nations, and local communities has natural resource investment opportunities in Northwest British Columbia’s forest economy. There are 2,700,000 cubic metres of presently uncommitted annual timber harvest volume available to support the long term wood fibre requirements of forest industry proponents.

A second major sector for opportunities is mining. The mining industry will be moving Northwest British Columbia forward in the next decade and the Northwest Transmission Line will be making many existing properties feasible for mineral extraction along the Highway 37 corridor.
Mining projects and investment opportunities include:
- Galore Creek Copper / Gold Mine
- Kitsault Molybdenum Mine
- Kutcho Creek Copper / Zinc / Silver / Gold
- KSM Copper / Gold / Molybdenum Mine
- Mount Klappan Anthracite Coal Mine
- Turnagain Nickel / Sulfide Mine

Another business sector with rising opportunities includes oil and gas. Technological advances, interest in unconventional gas, and increased social and environmental expectations are leading to key opportunities in two pipelines.

- Kitimat LNG and Pacific Trails Pipelines

Power production is another sector to watch for increasing potential. Northwest British Columbia offers an abundance of run of river and clean energy opportunities. They are located right here.
