What We Do
The Mining Association of BC, one of the oldest associations in the province, represents the collective needs and interests of coal, metal, industrial mineral companies and smelters in British Columbia. In doing so, MABC has come to be regarded as the predominant voice of mining in British Columbia.
We invite you to explore the numerous resources we have on our site all designed to showcase the many facets of the mining industry in BC!

March 31, 2014 MLA Mike Morris (Prince George-Mackenzie) put forward a private members` motion in the Legislature that stated, “Be it resolved that this House protect and preserve jobs for current and future generations by supporting B.C.’s mining industry.”
Private Members’ motions are used to introduce a wide range of issues, stating an opinion or making a declaration of purpose.
In making the motion, MLA Morris stated :
“…the worldwide demand for coal, metals and industrial minerals has risen and is expected to further increase with the urbanization occurring in India and China. B.C. is well positioned to benefit from these global demands, with an abundance of coal, metals and minerals, a highly skilled workforce and the world's largest concentration of mining and exploration companies. We believe in getting to yes on economic development. That means supporting our mining industry by protecting and preserving jobs for current and future British Columbians.”
