15 Canadian Crypto ETFs in 2025

While directly holding cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum is a popular option, investors looking for alternatives are clamoring for financial products such as crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Canada first launched Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs in 2021. These Canadian Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs allow investors to place returns in tax-sheltered accounts like tax-free savings accounts or registered retirement savings plans.

“There is a high demand for a Bitcoin product that has all the features that people love about ETFs — that they trade on an exchange, that they’re liquid,” Ross Mayfield, investment strategy analyst at Robert W. Baird & Co., told Bloomberg in mid-2021.

Interest has only increased since then. In the US, Bitcoin ETFs’ net assets surpassed US$100 billion in November 2024, gaining ground on US gold ETFs. Sean Farrell, head of digital asset strategy at Fundstrat, wrote in mid-2023 that the Bitcoin ETF category at large has the potential to surpass the precious metals ETF market in terms of asset value.

‘Bitcoin ETF eventually could become >$300 billion category,’ he said in the note.

Ethereum ETFs have also become a major talking point. Ethereum is the most widely used blockchain technology, and Ether, the digital currency of this platform, is the second largest cryptocurrency after Bitcoin.

In Q2 2025, Canadian ETF firms officially launched North America’s first Solana and XRP spot ETFs, offering investors exposure to the significant altcoins. The launch of XRP ETFs by Canadian firms comes amid increased clarity regarding XRP’s regulatory status in the US.

With that in mind, it’s worth taking a look at the currently available Canadian cryptocurrency ETFs.

The list below includes the biggest 15 crypto ETFs available on the Canadian market sorted by assets under management, and all data presented is current as of September 16, 2025.

1. Fidelity Advantage Bitcoin ETF (TSX:FBTC)

Assets under management: C$1.48 billion

The Fidelity Advantage Bitcoin ETF launched in November 2021. It offers the security of Fidelity’s in-house cold storage services for its holdings.

While it previously had a management fee of 0.39 percent, the Fidelity Advantage Bitcoin ETF lowered it in January 2025 to an ultra-low management fee of 0.32 percent.

2. CI Galaxy Bitcoin ETF (TSX:BTCX.B)

Assets under management: C$1.40 billion

Launched in March 2021, the CI Galaxy Bitcoin ETF was born out of a partnership between cryptocurrency leaders Galaxy Fund Management and CI Global Asset Management. Galaxy Fund Management is part of Galaxy Digital, a diversified financial services firm with a focus on digital assets and the blockchain technology sector.

The ETF’s objective is to give investors exposure to Bitcoin via an institutional-quality fund platform, as its holdings are wholly Bitcoin and are kept in cold storage. At 0.4 percent, this fund is another with one of the lowest management fees of the crypto funds on the market.

3. Purpose Bitcoin ETF (TSX:BTCC)

Assets under management: C$1.04 billion

Billed as the world’s first physically settled Bitcoin ETF, the Purpose Bitcoin ETF launched in February 2021 and is backed by Bitcoin in cold storage. This means the fund allows investors to add and sell Bitcoin with no digital wallet required.

4. CI Galaxy Ethereum ETF (TSX:ETHX.U)

Assets under management: C$805.65 million

Assets under management: C$353.67 million

Assets under management: C$261.36 million

Evolve ETFs partnered with cryptocurrency experts, including Gemini Trust Company, CF Benchmarks, Cidel Bank & Trust and CIBC Mellon Global Services, to launch the Evolve Bitcoin ETF. The fund, which holds its own Bitcoin, has a management fee of 0.75 percent.

7. Purpose Ether ETF (TSX:ETHH)

Assets under management: C$253.94 million

The Purpose Ether ETF is a direct-custody Ether ETF that launched on April 20, 2021. This fund currently holds over 87,000 Ether, which it stores in cold storage.

The Purpose Ether ETF offers investors exposure to the daily price movements of physically settled Ether tokens with a management fee of 1 percent.

8. 3iQ XRP ETF (TSX:XRPQ)

Assets under management: C$175.27 million

The 3iQ XRP ETF provides investors with exposure to XRP, the digital asset native to the XRP Ledger. The ETF, which launched on June 17, 2025, is passively managed and aims to track the performance of the CME CF XRP-Dollar Reference Rate. The underlying XRP is held in secure cold storage.

The fund’s primary objectives are to give unitholders an opportunity for long-term capital appreciation through exposure to XRP and its daily price movements against the US dollar. This XRP ETF has a 0 percent management fee for its first six months, after which time it will change to 0.59 percent.

9. Purpose Bitcoin Yield ETF (TSX:BTCY)

Assets under management: C$124.85 million

The Purpose Bitcoin Yield ETF uses a covered call strategy to generate yield for investors, which involves writing call options on Bitcoin. Call options give the buyer an option to purchase an asset at a specific price on or before a specific date.

Its structure allows the fund to earn income from option premiums while providing investors with exposure to Bitcoin’s price movements. Its distributions are paid monthly and has a management fee of 1.1 percent.

10. Evolve Ether ETF (TSX:ETHR)

Assets under management: C$107.32 million

The Evolve Ether ETF offers investors an easier route to investing in Ether. The fund’s holdings of Ether are priced based on the CME CF Ether-Dollar Reference Rate, a once-a-day benchmark index price for Ether denominated in US dollars.

As with the Evolve Bitcoin ETF, the Evolve Ether ETF has a management fee of 0.75 percent.

11. Fidelity Advantage Ether ETF (TSX:FETH)

Assets under management: C$101.38 million

Following the successful launch of its Bitcoin fund, Fidelity brought its Advantage Ether ETF to market in September 2022, making this the newest Ether ETF in Canada. Its holdings are stored in Fidelity’s in-house cold storage.

The Fidelity Advantage Ether ETF has a low management fee of 0.4 percent.

Investors who purchase shares of this ETF receive a portion of the interest earned in monthly distributions. Like Purpose’s Bitcoin Yield ETF, its management fee is 1.1 percent.

13. Purpose XRP ETF (TSX:XRPP)

Assets under management: C$82.27 million

The Purpose XRP ETF started trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange on June 18, 2025, as part of the launch of Canada’s first XRP ETFs. The fund invests directly in XRP, offering investors access to the XRP spot price.

The new asset is offering a 0 percent management fee through February 2026, after which time it will have a management fee of 0.69 percent.

14. Evolve Cryptocurrencies ETF (TSX:ETC)

Assets under management: C$78.95 million

The Evolve Cryptocurrencies ETF launched in September 2021 as the first multi-cryptocurrency ETF, providing combined exposure to both Bitcoin and Ether. Its holdings have since expanded to include XRP and Solana.

This product from Evolve ETFs allows investors to diversify their crypto portfolios and provides indirect exposure to the four coins, weighing them by market capitalization and rebalancing its holdings on a monthly basis. Bitcoin makes up the majority of its portfolio.

While this ETF has no management fee, the underlying funds that hold both Bitcoin and Ether have management fees of 0.75 percent plus applicable taxes.

15. Purpose Solana ETF (TSX:SOLL)

Assets under management: C$53.96 million

The Purpose Solana ETF gives investors exposure to the price of the Solana cryptocurrency. Its purpose is to provide a regulated and convenient way for investors to participate in the Solana market without the complexities of directly buying and storing the digital asset.

Landsat Data Shaping Lithium-Mining Plans at Nevada’s Thacker Pass

A Nevada lithium project central to US efforts to secure domestic mineral supply is leaning on a half-century-old satellite program for modern answers.

The US Geological Survey’s (USGS) Landsat program, managed with NASA, has provided continuous Earth observations since 1972. Its freely available images allow scientists and industry leaders to measure landscape changes with precision.

In Northern Nevada, those insights are proving crucial as Lithium Americas (TSX:LAC,NYSE:LAC) works to advance Thacker Pass in a way that meets strict environmental and land-use standards.

“Landsat imagery is valuable for critical minerals project development because it provides consistent, long-term data that document land use changes and geological features, assess environmental receptors and support planning decisions,” said Alexi Zawadzki, president of North American operations for Lithium Americas, in a USGS report.

When planning began, Landsat data revealed that the original mine site overlapped with important sage-grouse habitat.

Although the bird is not a protected species, its sharp population decline since the 1960s has made it an indicator of ecosystem health in Nevada’s rangelands. The finding prompted developers to shift the project six miles south, away from prime territory.

Water use is another critical challenge faced by the project. Landsat data has been paired with field checks to estimate groundwater levels, using differences in vegetation to infer depth.

With this data, the Thacker Pass project aims to recycle processed water up to seven times and to operate as a “zero liquid discharge facility.”

Unlike traditional lithium brine operations, the project will extract lithium from clay deposits. Tailings will be stored in dry facilities and later reused for reclamation work.

Economic promise

Lithium Americas estimates construction of Thacker Pass could generate more than US$700 million annually and support 1,800 jobs. Once operational, economic activity linked to the mine could average US$2.1 billion per year, according to a University of Nevada, Reno, study.

Lithium is a cornerstone of batteries that power smartphones, laptops and electric vehicles. The US ranks third globally in known lithium resources but remains dependent on imports.

Due to the resource’ growing importance, developing domestic supply has become a matter of both industrial policy and national security.

Landsat’s value, is hardly confined to mining. A 2023 economic analysis placed its annual contributions to US industries at US$25.6 billion, spanning everything from gold exploration to reduced insurance costs for farmers.

For Thacker Pass, the test will come as mining gets underway. But for now, the view from space has already reshaped how the project is planned and envisioned moving forward.

By applying Landsat data, planners hope to show that resource extraction and environmental stewardship can advance together.

Crypto Market Update: Fed Cuts Rates, Bitcoin Price Reacts

Here’s a quick recap of the crypto landscape for Wednesday (September 17) as of 9:00 p.m. UTC.

Get the latest insights on Bitcoin, Ethereum and altcoins, along with a round-up of key cryptocurrency market news.

Bitcoin and Ethereum price update

Bitcoin (BTC) was priced at US$115,680, a one percent decrease in 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$114,940, and its highest was US$116,225.

Bitcoin price performance, September 17, 2025.

Chart via TradingView.

The crypto markets showed immediate volatility following today’s US Federal Reserve interest rate decision, which was a widely anticipated 25 basis points, lowering the target range to 4 to 4.25 percent.

Bitcoin initially rose slightly above US$116,000, but then dropped below US$115,000 as traders digested Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s remarks. He noted that inflation risks are currently tilted to the upside, while employment risks are to the downside, posing a challenging situation for policy balance.

Ether (ETH) hovered near US$4,500, showing some cautious optimism against the macro backdrop. It was priced at US$4,519.07 at the closing bell, its highest valuation of the day and an increase of 0.6 percent over the past 24 hours. Its lowest valuation on Wednesday was US$4440.

Crypto derivatives analytics and market indicators

Total BTC Futures Open Interest was at 727.55K BTC, equivalent to US$84.19 billion, up by 1.15 percent over four hours and 0.04 percent over 24 hours. The perpetual funding rate for BTC was at 0.0057 percent, while the ETH funding rate stood at 0.0041 percent, indicating bullish market sentiment.

Liquidations reached US$143.67 million over the past four hours, with long positions representing the majority, signaling strong selling pressure that could push prices down.

BTC dominance stands at 55.8 percent.

ETF data

Institutional Bitcoin demand is now outpacing new issuance. Bitwise data shows that US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) inflows far exceed new Bitcoin supply. Monday’s (September 15) Bitcoin ETF inflows were about US$260 million versus ETH’s US$360 million, followed by an uptick to US$292 million on Tuesday (September 16).

This seven day inflow streak (US$2.9 billion) is the largest since July, pushing total Bitcoin ETF assets to US$151.7 billion, or around 6.6 percent of Bitcoin’s market cap. Data shows that 97 percent of this surge came from US spot funds, pushing their combined holdings to a record 1.32 million BTC.

Fear and Greed Index snapshot

Sentiment gauges have cooled from recent highs.

CMC’s Crypto Fear & Greed Index currently stands around 51 (neutral), down from “greed” levels last week.

The neutral reading, which is up only slightly from 49 last week, shows that while neither bullish nor bearish sentiments are dominant, investors are still cautiously optimistic buoyed by ETF inflows and Fed hopes of favorable interest rates.

Chart via CoinMarketCap.

Altcoin price update

Altcoins continued to show strength midweek, with many outperforming Bitcoin.

Solana (SOL) was priced at US$238.66, an increase of 0.4 percent over the last 24 hours and its highest valuation of the day. Its lowest valuation on Wednesday was US$232.78.

XRP was trading for US$3.04, down by 0.4 percent in the past 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$2.99, and its highest value was US$3.06.

SUI (Sui) was valued at US$3.68, trading at its highest valuation of the day and up by 1.3 percent over the past 24 hours. Its lowest price point today was US$3.54.

Cardano (ADA) was priced at US$0.8832, up by 1.3 percent over 24 hours to its highest value of the day. Its lowest valuation was US$0.8634.

Today’s crypto news to know

Bitcoin ETF inflows surge to highest level since July

Bitcoin exchange-traded products drew their largest weekly inflows since late July, according to K33 Research, as institutional investors piled back into the market.

Net inflows totaled 20,685 BTC, pushing US spot ETFs’ combined holdings to a record 1.32 million BTC.

Analysts say the fresh demand is outpacing new supply nearly nine times over, creating strong upward pressure on prices. Bitwise notes that this reallocation is coming at the expense of Ethereum, with capital flowing back into Bitcoin after months of mixed positioning. ETF inflows have become a critical driver of performance, with Bitwise data showing an unprecedented correlation between flows and price action.

With more than 22,000 BTC accumulated via funds in the last month, compared with just 14,000 newly mined, analysts see this as a bullish signal for the final quarter of the year.

Forward Industries files for US$4 billion ATM equity offering

Forward Industries (NASDAQ:FORD), a prominent Solana treasury company, has filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to establish an at-the-market (ATM) equity offering program.

This initiative, announced on Wednesday, will be facilitated by Cantor Fitzgerald and will enable the company to incrementally sell up to US$4 billion of its common stock on the open market.

The company said it plans to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including working capital, its Solana token strategy and acquiring income-generating assets.

Chairman of the Board, Kyle Samani, stated this offering provides a flexible mechanism to deploy capital for its Solana treasury strategy, scale its position, which already has over 6.8 million SOL purchased, strengthen its balance sheet and pursue growth initiatives.

Google, Coinbase partner for stablecoin payments in AI protocol

Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) and Coinbase Global (NASDAQ:COIN) have joined forces to integrate stablecoin payments into AP2, a new open-source artificial intelligence (AI) payments protocol.

Developed in close collaboration with Coinbase, Google’s AP2 enables AI applications and agents to autonomously send and receive payments using both traditional methods and stablecoins. The AP2 system aims to establish a universal, secure, compliant, and flexible payment language for both legacy financial rails and emerging digital assets.

Ultimately, this will enable AI agents to conduct financial transactions in applications like personal shopping or financial advising, without human intervention, a significant step toward an AI economy powered by digital payments.

The initiative extends beyond Google and Coinbase, including the Ethereum Foundation and over 60 other companies from both the crypto and traditional finance sectors, such as Salesforce (NYSE:CRM), American Express (NYSE:AXP) and Etsy.

This partnership ensures the payment infrastructure supports stablecoins and integrates with Coinbase’s existing AI-driven crypto payment system, positioning Coinbase centrally in Google’s efforts to merge AI with digital money, capitalizing on the growing adoption and interest in stablecoins.

Bullish secures New York BitLicense

Bullish has secured a BitLicense from the New York State Department of Financial Services, a key regulatory approval allowing the company’s US entity to legally provide cryptocurrency spot trading and custody services to institutional clients and advanced traders in New York State. This regulatory milestone in New York, a major financial hub, is critical for Bullish’s full-scale launch and expansion in the US market. The company is one of a handful of crypto firms licensed under this rigorous state framework, joining firms like Gemini and Paxos.

The BitLicense will enable Bullish to offer regulated, institutional-grade digital asset services in New York, increasing access for hedge funds, asset managers, banks, and other institutional players.

CEO Tom Farley emphasized the company’s commitment to regulatory compliance and building trusted infrastructure. President Chris Tyrer highlighted that clear regulation drives responsible market evolution and institutional engagement.

Metaplanet expands to US with new Bitcoin income unit

Metaplanet (TSE:3350,OTCQX:MTPLF) has established a Miami-based subsidiary to oversee its Bitcoin income generation business, following the close of a US$1.44 billion global equity sale earlier this month.

The new arm, Metaplanet Income, received an initial US$15 million capital injection and will focus on derivatives trading and related yield strategies separate from the company’s core treasury holdings.

Upsized from an original plan of 180 million shares to 385 million due to strong demand, the offering raised ¥212.9 billion in gross proceeds. Funds are earmarked for further Bitcoin purchases through October as well as expansion of income products that have generated steady revenue since late 2024. Management says the new US subsidiary will not materially affect 2025 earnings but strengthens its long-term operational footprint.

Saudi Arabia doubles down on digital payments with Google and Ant

Saudi Arabia is accelerating its financial technology ambitions through new partnerships with Google Pay and Ant International, its central bank confirmed at the Money20/20 conference in Riyadh. Google Pay will now integrate with the country’s mada network, allowing cardholders to manage payments through Google Wallet.

Meanwhile, a collaboration with Ant International aims to enable cross-border QR code payments linking mada with Alipay+ by 2026. The push is expected to benefit small and mid-sized merchants.

Together with the first tranche of the Offering, the Company has issued an aggregate of 32,890,909 Units and raised total gross proceeds of CDN$1,809,000 under the Offering.

‘The Company is pleased to be fully subscribed and close over CDN$1.8 million, and I am excited to continue to be a large shareholder in the Company by subscribing once again alongside our existing and new shareholders. We have had significant interest in the private placement, well above the funds raised, and truly appreciate the support in the market,’ commented Peter A. Ball, President & CEO. ‘It will be an exciting period going forward for the Company in this robust silver market, which is approaching $43 per ounce, and showing potential for additional upside in the sector for 2026 and beyond. The Company is positioned extremely well with the ability to explore its seven historical high-grade drill-ready silver mines in Idaho and Nevada within our three 100% owned silver projects, with no royalties, or cumbersome earn-in exploration agreements, or future payments required. It was a tough past twelve months, but the market is back and so is Silver Hammer!’

Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company (a ‘Share‘) and one transferable common share purchase warrant (a ‘Warrant‘). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional Share at an exercise price of CDN$0.07 for a period of five years from the date of issuance.

The Second Tranche was completed in reliance on prospectus exemptions under National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions (‘NI 45-106‘), and, for greater certainty, did not include any portion completed under the listed issuer financing exemption set out in Part 5A of NI 45-106. All securities issued in connection with the Second Tranche are subject to a statutory hold period of four months, expiring on January 19, 2026, in accordance with applicable securities laws.

In connection with the Second Tranche, the Company paid finder’s fees consisting of CDN$44,679.40 in cash and issued 1,012,353 finder’s warrants (the ‘Finder’s Warrants‘) to eligible finders. Each Finder’s Warrant is exercisable to acquire one Share at an exercise price of CDN$0.07 for a period of 60 months from the date of issuance.

Certain directors and officers of the Company have purchased an aggregate of 2,952,310 Units under the Second Tranche. Their participation constituted a ‘related party transaction’ within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (‘MI 61-101‘). The Company relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the securities issued to insiders nor the consideration paid exceeded 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Offering for exploration of its Silver Strand project in Idaho and its Eliza and Silverton projects in Nevada (see below), as well as for general working capital and corporate purposes.

Projects Overview:

Silverton Project, Nevada

Silver Hammer has identified several targets at its 100% owned Silverton Project in Nevada and currently has 13 drill targets identified. The Company’s technical team is currently ranking and prioritizing targets at Silverton with a view towards completing a Phase I drill program in the fall of 2025. Previous exploration work, including rock and soil sampling, geologic mapping and satellite imagery, provided evidence of two separate mineralized systems: silver rich and gold rich. The volcanic-hosted gold system highlighted grades ranging from 0.06 grams per tonne (‘g/t’) to 6.1 g/t gold (‘Au’). The silver dominated mineral system is hosted by silicified limestone with grades ranging from 0.32 g/t silver (‘Ag’) to 692 g/t Ag.

Silver Strand Project, Idaho

The Company plans to follow up on previous exploration results at its 100% owned Silver Strand Project in Idaho by executing an eight (8) hole exploration drill program via its Plan of Operations Permit, which was previously approved. The majority of surface samples collected across the property have returned gold and silver mineralization, and historical and recent drilling completed by Silver Hammer in 2021 and 2022, and by previous operators in 2002, highlight high-grade silver and gold mineralization below the lowest level (90 metres) of the mine. In addition, the Company has recently been approached by a local operator to review the project and to potentially mine the Silver Strand Mine for feed for their milling operation through a small miner exemption previously granted.

Highlighted historical drill results and drill results completed by Silver Hammer (2021/2022) (refer to the Company’s website for detailed disclosure):

Drill Hole #	Au Grade (g/t)	Ag Grade (g/t)	Length (m)
DDH02-001:	9.76	24.50	2.20
DDH02-003:	10.20	199.06	3.30

Eliza Project, Nevada

The Company plans to follow up on the significant previous exploration results at its 100% owned Eliza Project in Nevada. Results from rock chip and grab samples (from 2021 and 2022) confirmed the existence of a well-developed silver-rich mineral system, which also showed elevated enrichments in copper (Cu), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn):

Sample ID No.	Ag (g/t)	Cu (%)	Zn (%)	Pb (%)
EZR007	1540	6.88	7.38	Not Sig.
EZR008	1410	5.40	2.60	9.05
PN662703	1290	Not Sig.	Not Sig.	Not Sig.
PN662717	1180	7.70	13.4	11.00
PN614025	450	4.89	15.00	9.04

The Company is currently fast tracking a property-wide Plan of Operations to submit to the USFS to ensure the project can be fully explored and advanced to a drill ready state on USFS ground, while also prioritizing exploration efforts for a 2026 drill program on patented ground within the Eliza Project area that encompasses the high-grade past-producing California Mine. The Company has completed a property-wide geophysical study, and ground truthing, including geologic mapping and structural analysis, to assist in finalizing the drill targets focused on the silver-rich mineral system mentioned above.

New Research on Deep-Sea Mineral Sources Reveals Ecological Importance

The seabed of the Baltic Sea is scattered with rock-like lumps that may one day fuel the global race for rare metals.

But new research suggests these formations, known as mineral concretions, are far more than a potential resource: they are complex, slow-growing structures that play an important role in marine ecosystems.

A team from the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) has used synchrotron-based imaging at the Canadian Light Source (CLS) in Saskatchewan to probe the makeup of these concretions.

Their findings shed light on how the lumps form, how they differ across environments, and how their removal could disrupt life on the sea floor.

“These concretions act like a sponge, absorbing anything that is in the water column,” said geologist Joonas Wasiljeff, who was part of the GTK team. “We still don’t know enough that we can just go collect everything from the seafloor. If we remove them that may have drastic impacts on the ecosystem that may not ever recover.”

The GTK team identified three broad types in the Baltic Sea: iron-rich crusts, manganese-heavy discs and spheroidal nodules. Each type’s shape and composition are closely linked to environmental factors such as currents, sediment deposits and oxygen levels.

Crusts typically form in shallower, turbulent waters near shore, where stronger currents bring in terrestrial material like clays and micas. These iron-rich formations also contain trace amounts of vanadium and some rare earth elements.

By contrast, the discs and spheres tend to form in calmer, deeper water. They are more manganese-rich and host metals such as zinc, cobalt and higher concentrations of rare earth elements.

Despite the presence of resources, the rock-like lumps do more than trap metals. They provide critical hard surfaces on the seabed, where creatures like clams can anchor and other marine life can establish itself.

Their removal, Wasiljeff cautioned, risks breaking links in the food web and destabilizing benthic ecosystems.

At the same time, the economic allure of these deposits is clear. With rising demand for metals such as cobalt and rare earth elements — critical for batteries, electronics and renewable energy technologies — seabed mining has become a frontier of resource exploration.

China, Norway and Pacific island nations have already advanced projects targeting similar deposits in international waters.

The GTK study adds weight to calls for caution, showing that the same features that make these concretions promising as a resource also make them slow to form and ecologically significant.

The timing of the Baltic findings is also crucial as seabed mining takes on new geopolitical weight.

US President Donald Trump’s push to build an American stockpile of critical minerals from the seafloor has gained fresh momentum with Bahrain throwing its support behind Impossible Metals, a California startup.

However, debates regarding deep sea mining’s feasibility continue. The International Seabed Authority (ISA), the UN agency tasked with regulating deep-sea mining, has issued over 30 exploratory permits but has yet to finalize rules for commercial extraction.

That regulatory vacuum has fueled unilateral actions by states and companies alike, raising questions about whether collective governance of the seabed can hold.

The researchers noted that the mineral phases and formation mechanisms of Baltic Sea concretions resemble those found in other shallow marine environments worldwide. That suggests lessons from the Baltic could apply to seabed resource debates in other regions.

The broader implication, according to Wasiljeff, is that decisions on seabed mining must weigh both the potential supply of critical metals and the ecological functions of these deposits.

Canada’s Place in Global Mining: Why it’s a Top Jurisdiction for Investors and Companies

For resource investors, geological potential is only one piece of the puzzle.

Whether it’s gold, silver, copper, nickel, uranium or any other commodity, the long-term success of a mining project is heavily dependent on jurisdiction. Mining is a capital-intensive, multi-year undertaking, and an asset’s economics can be undermined by political instability, sudden regulatory changes or shifting government policies.

Canada stands out as a global leader in this regard. Its reputation as a stable and reliable mining jurisdiction is built on a foundation of political stability, the rule of law and a mature, transparent regulatory framework. This environment provides the certainty that investors require to commit the significant capital needed for exploration and development.

The Fraser Institute’s latest Annual Survey of Mining Companies, which ranks jurisdictions based on the organization’s Investment Attractiveness Index, puts Canada in the spotlight, with two regions in the top 10.

Read on to learn what makes Canada a strong mining jurisdiction for both companies and investors.

Canada’s top mining provinces

The two Canadian jurisdictions ranked the highest by the Fraser Institute are Saskatchewan, which came in seventh on the Investment Attractiveness Index, and Newfoundland and Labrador, which took the eighth spot.

Both provinces ranked highly in terms of policy, with Saskatchewan earning a score of 96.37 to take the third spot out of 82, and Newfoundland and Labrador achieving a score of 91.84 for sixth place.

Alberta also placed in the top 10 for policy, coming in ninth place at a score of 87.8.

When it comes to mineral potential, both Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador were left out of the top 10, placing 21st and 16th, respectively. Still, Canada maintained a presence, with BC scoring 85.45 for fourth, Yukon receiving a score of 79.03 for eighth and Manitoba coming in ninth with 78.57.

Behind the figures, respondents to the Fraser Institute’s survey identified uncertainty as their chief concern. In BC, political stability and disputed land claims were top concerns, but these worries were also accompanied by decreased apprehension surrounding regulatory duplication and environmental regulations.

In Saskatchewan, there were increased concerns over the province’s taxation regime and regulatory duplication, but there was less worry over the availability of labor.

Canadian mining policies and tax credits

At both the provincial and national levels, Canada has established various programs with the intent of attracting investment capital to the country’s resource sector.

Among them are flow-through shares (FTS), which enable companies to pass certain expenses onto shareholders. For tax purposes, investors can claim 100 percent of eligible expenses, ultimately lowering their tax burden.

On top of FTS are several tax credit programs. The Mineral Exploration Tax Credit (METC) provides a 15 percent tax credit on exploration expenses incurred through FTS. The program was designed to stimulate investment in early stage exploration projects, which tend to carry higher risk than assets already in production.

The federal government has a similar program tailored for investment in critical minerals projects. Although it cannot be combined with the METC, the Critical Mineral Exploration Tax Credit (CMETC) doubles the tax credit to 30 percent and targets exploration for minerals, including lithium, cobalt, copper, nickel and rare earths.

Other programs exist at the provincial level as well. This is one of the reasons Saskatchewan scored so highly on policy in the Fraser Institute’s report — the province offers a 30 percent tax credit, which, when combined with either the METC or CMETC, gives investors total tax credits worth 45 percent and 60 percent.

BC has also incentivized investment in the mining sector with a 20 percent tax credit, which grows to 30 percent if projects are located in areas affected by the invasive mountain pine beetle.

Additionally, as tariff threats from south of the border loomed in the first half of 2025, the Canadian government introduced the Building Canada Act, intended to streamline the regulatory approval process for infrastructure projects deemed to be in the national interest, including resource development.

The goal is to reduce red tape by consolidating federal reviews into a single process, eliminating redundancies between the federal and provincial governments and reducing timelines to within two years.

Similar initiatives have been introduced on the provincial level. In May of this year, the BC government introduced the Infrastructure Projects Act, designed to expedite permitting and environmental reviews.

Mining challenges in Canada

Although regulations vary from province to province and are subject to change with the election of new governments, Canada has developed a reputation for being a safe mining jurisdiction due to its political stability.

These positive outcomes are reflected in how many provinces scored highly in the Fraser Institute’s report; however, respondents weren’t without criticisms of Canada. One participant suggested that investment in BC is deterred by regulatory failures that create uncertainty, while another stated that taxation is a significant issue.

When examining Manitoba, which fell sharply in the standings to 26th from sixth in 2023, one exploration company president noted that a long list of roadblocks makes exploration in the province challenging.

How the new acts and shifts in policy will affect the mining industry won’t be known for some time. Still, they could go a long way to addressing issues outlined in the report and begin attracting new projects to the Canadian resource sector, which would be a boon to both mining companies and investors.

Zeus Resources: Unlocking Morocco’s High-grade Antimony in a Tightening Supply Market

Zeus Resources (ASX:ZEU,FSE:ZEU) is a mineral exploration company dedicated to advancing high-grade critical mineral projects in underexplored regions. Its primary focus is the 100-percent-owned Casablanca antimony project in Morocco, while also maintaining exploration interests in uranium, lithium and rare earth elements across Australia.

Targeting Europe’s industrial and defence supply chains, Zeus is leveraging Morocco’s efficient permitting environment to fast-track development. In July 2025, Zeus completed its acquisition of Casablanca and immediately initiated a high-resolution geophysics program. The company aims to progress from reconnaissance to drilling within months, capitalising on record-high antimony prices and tightening Western supply chains. The Casablanca project represents one of the few high-grade antimony exposures outside China.

Zeus also strengthened its Moroccan strategy through a five-year, non-exclusive license agreement with Newmont, covering its Morocco exploration database and regional framework study across the Anti-Atlas and Central Meseta regions. The database integrates geochemical, geophysical and structural datasets, providing Zeus with a competitive advantage in prospectivity analysis and target generation. Key terms include a 1 percent NSR royalty on any properties Zeus acquires in these regions and a 15-year right of first refusal for Newmont on transfers. The agreement streamlines project identification, reduces early-stage risk and positions Zeus to efficiently expand its Moroccan footprint.

Company Highlights

Casablanca Antimony Project: Six exploration licenses over 79 sq km in central Morocco. Surface sampling during due diligence returned astonishing results: up to 61.9 percent antimony, with additional samples ranging 7.8 to 46.52 percent antimony along a mapped strike exceeding 4 km
Strategic Location for Supply Security: Morocco is a long-standing antimony producer with historic supply to Europe, ranking 19th globally on the Fraser Institute’s mining jurisdiction index- – on par with Western Australia.
Rapid Advancement Exploration Model: Geophysics survey underway within weeks of licence acquisition, trenching program planned, and drill commencement targeted for early Q4 2025.
Favourable Market Dynamics: Antimony prices have quadrupled since early 2024 to ~US$55,000/t amid tightening global supply and rising demand from defence, electronics and renewable energy sectors.
Strategic Advisory Firepower: Former US Ambassador Christopher Dell has joined as US business and strategic development advisor aiming to leverage his extensive diplomatic experience and proven negotiation skills to facilitate Zeus navigate capital-raising, geopolitical positioning and partnerships aligned with Western critical minerals policy
Strategic Data Access: Access to Newmont’s Morocco exploration database and framework study strengthens Zeus’s ability to fast-track target generation and expand its Moroccan footprint
Lean Valuation, Clear Milestones: Market capitalization sits around AU$9 to AU$13 million, offering early-stage leverage if exploration success continues.
