| Abstract | Achieving net-zero carbon emissions goals will increasingly rely on critical mineral resources while simultaneously decreasing the extraction, processing and use of hydrocarbons as the primary provider
of energy. Canada is well-positioned to contribute to this effort through a series of innovative policy and research initiatives, and it is Canada's goal to be a stable supplier of critical minerals into the future. To this end, Natural Resources
Canada and the Geological Survey of Canada invest financial resources into critical mineral research initiatives. This research aims to generate precompetitive baseline geological, geochemical and geophysical data for large, underexplored regions
within Canada, whereas targeted studies focus on mineral systems science and improved exploration models for the large variety of critical mineral resources distributed throughout Canada. These research approaches can be combined, digitally, to
generate mineral potential models. These ongoing efforts by the Geological Survey of Canada enhance the viability of Canada being (or maintaining its status as) a hub for critical mineral resource development and processing well into the future.

| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
This manuscript presents policies related to critical minerals, the role of critical minerals in a net-zero emissions economy and the science done at the
GSC to promote critical minerals research. It presents high-level overviews of recent research highlights from the Target Geoscience Initiative program from several of the editors of recent synthesis volumes. |
