A total of nearly 508 million metric tons of critical minerals were produced in overseas mines that had corporate owners based in Canada as of 2022. This made Canada the world's leading headquarters country for critical mineral producing mines that were operating overseas at that time. Chile, on the other hand, had the largest critical mineral production from domestically-owned mines at that time, producing 330.46 million tons of critical minerals that year.
Critical minerals are mineral resources that are essential for the economy and technology worldwide and include copper, cobalt, nickel, lithium, and manganese.
