TLDRThe federal natural resources minister, Tim Hodgson, hopes to accelerate the timeline for the Sisson Mine project in New Brunswick. The $579-million project, which would extract tungsten and molybdenum, has faced delays due to low mineral prices. However, concerns about China's dominance in the tungsten supply have renewed interest in the project. The federal government is working with New Brunswick and the proponent, Northcliff Resources, to move up the final investment decision target to 2027. The project is eligible for faster approvals and financing support, and the government is also working on offtake agreements and price floors to secure long-term buyers for the minerals.
