W. C. Wansbrough of Toronto told a Regina Men’s Canadian Club luncheon that Canada’s mineral industry valued at about 3 billion dollars in 1963 directly employed around 125,000 and contributed heavily to the balance of trade by exporting about 80 percent of output, with 65 percent destined for the United States. He urged more Canadian investment to retain control of resources and noted the frontier potential of the Pre-Cambrian Shield despite climatic and geographic challenges.
