Data from the Monthly Mineral Production Survey and the Monthly Survey of Smelters and Metal Refineries are now available for October.
Note to readers
The Monthly Mineral Production Survey estimates the production, shipments and inventories of Canada's leading minerals. This survey covers several metallic minerals (iron, gold, silver, etc.) and non-metallic minerals (diamonds, gypsum, potash, salt, etc.).
The Monthly Survey of Smelters and Metal Refineries covers smelters and metal refineries for a variety of base metals, including copper, lead, nickel and zinc.
The Monthly Mineral Production Survey has been redesigned over the last couple of years and is now conducted within the Integrated Business Statistics Program, as part of the Minerals and Metals Production Statistics Program modernization initiative.
Data from the Monthly Mineral Production Survey and the Monthly Survey of Smelters and Metal Refineries are released every month and a detailed review is released every three months, on the month ending the quarter.
Data are not seasonally adjusted.
Data for the two previous months are subject to revision based on late responses. Data for August and September 2020 have been revised with this release.
Data prior to 2020 can be found on the Production of Canada's Leading Minerals page of the Natural Resources Canada website.
