Alberta named top jurisdiction; Fraser Survey ranks four Canadian provinces in the top 10

摘要

Elsewhere, Alberta surpassed Quebec as the world's most attractive jurisdiction for mineral exploration and development, according to the Survey of Mining Companies: 2010/201 i . "Alberta's resource -friend I y government, competitive taxation regime and superior infrastructure render the province a standout for mining investment, not only in Canada but also globally," said Fred McMahon, coordinator of the survey and the Fraser institute's vice-president of international policy research. Australia generally saw an improvement in its rankings after taking a hard hit in the special Survey of Mining Companies: 201 0 Mid-Year Update, following the Australian government's plan to impose a heavy Resources Super Profits Tax (RSPT) on the mining industry.
