“This partnership demonstrates the world-class expertise that Canadian companies bring to the global critical minerals sector,” said John Bianchini, chair and chief executive officer of Hatch. “Canada is recognized internationally for its natural resources, but equally important is the means in which we transform mineral resources into the critical materials needed for modern economies. Through this partnership, we are bringing Canadian engineering, technology, and project delivery expertise to support one of the most significant mining growth programs in the world.”

The agreement also highlights Canada’s growing contribution to global critical minerals supply chains beyond extraction. Through engineering, processing, metallurgy, project development, and technology innovation, Canadian companies like Hatch help create the infrastructure and industrial systems that transform mineral resources into the materials required for energy transition technologies, advanced manufacturing, transportation, and national economic development.
