One of the best places to go to begin to research opportunities in the Mnining Industry in BC and Canada is to go onto the Mining Association of Canada’s website:

As 80% of all jobs are found through networking channels, if you are a skilled trades worker, it is imperative that you connect to existing industry networks and introduce yourself to potential employers. For mining projects that are wanting to set-up business in Canada, another great resource is the Canadian Business Network (just google it!).
