The world’s northern circumpolar region could be the last terrestrial frontier for mineral exploration, and its abundant, diverse, and untapped potential has companies closely eyeing the region. The three territories in Canada’s North – Yukon, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut – reveal a mix of emerging and mature mineral plays and demonstrate how the industry can overcome extreme weather conditions and down markets to enjoy success. The non-Canadian jurisdictions, including Alaska, Greenland, and Sweden, share these characteristics and have enjoyed commensurate success in recent years. Companies entering the world’s northern circumpolar region face complex social and environmental challenges and will need to harness the industry’s newest services and technologies to meet them, but the rewards for those who do are tremendous.
