Mining Matters
Inspiring a Passion for Geology and Mineral Resources
Mining Matters is a charitable organization committed to enhancing knowledge and awareness of Canada’s geology and mineral resources among students, educators, and the wider community. We provide up-to-date information on rocks, minerals, metals, and the diverse career opportunities within the minerals industry.
Our exceptional educational resources align with provincial curriculum standards and are developed by educators and Earth science experts. Since our inception in 1994, we have reached approximately 900,000 teachers, students, and community members, fostering a deeper understanding of the vital role minerals play in our lives.

Join Us at Mineral Resources Review 2024
This year, Mining Matters is excited to offer educational programming for both elementary and secondary school classes at the Mineral Resources Review 2024, Newfoundland and Labrador’s premier mineral exploration and mining conference and exhibition.
We will invite one elementary class and one high school class, along with their teachers and parent chaperones, to participate in this unique educational event. Students will have the opportunity to engage directly with select exhibitors through guided booth visits, gaining hands-on insights into mineral resources. Each student will also receive a customized booklet of discovery questions to enrich their learning experience throughout the conference.
To further enhance their understanding, Mining Matters will deliver a curriculum-aligned workshop on Earth science and mineral resources at each invited school, providing valuable enrichment before or after the event.
Join us in igniting curiosity and passion for geology—let’s explore the wonders of our planet together!
