VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Association for Mineral Exploration (AME) congratulates the newly elected and re-elected Members of British Columbia\u2019s Legislative Assembly (MLAs) in the October 24, 2020 provincial election. AME congratulates the Honourable <\/strong>Bruce Ralston<\/strong> in being appointed Minister of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation. AME thanks Minister Ralston and all MLAs for their commitment to British Columbians and looks forward to their support. With strong demand and pricing for gold, copper and other metals, Minister Ralston and all elected MLAs play a key role in ensuring that BC remains globally competitive for mineral exploration through their work in fiscal policy, legislation related to reconciliation with Indigenous peoples and encouraging a regulatory regime that safely expedites the issuance of permits for low-impact exploration.<\/p>\n

\n and <\/em>
\n Premier Horgan\u2019s government, and in particular working collaboratively to achieve our objectives for Budget 2021 including<\/em>
