he Canadian mining industry counted much success in 2020 despite a year that saw shutdowns due to the Covid19 pandemic. Concerned about the health of its workforce and local communities, in many cases miners chose to temporarily suspend operations rather than risk spreading the virus. Temporary shutdowns continued throughout the year at individual sites as outbreaks occurred, but the industry as a whole weathered the interruptions and adopted new safety protocols without major production losses. Long-time readers of CMJ’s Top 40 Canadian mining companies will not be surprised to note that once again potash producer Nutrien has taken the top spot with revenues of $28 billion. It was also the No. 1 revenue generator in last year’s list www.canadianminingjournal.com
