Critical Minerals Research, Development and Demonstration Program

Primary source

Natural Resources Canada

OfficialenAccessed 7 Oct 2026

NRCan's standing programme page. States that CMRDD is administered through two funding streams (federal research and development projects, and contribution funding) and lists contribution-funded projects with organization, description, amount funded, status, critical minerals and location. Rechecked on 2026-10-07. The page is updated in place and carries no publication date; the project list is read as of the access date.

7 directly citing records. This is a snapshot of the curated public corpus, not a live document monitor or proof that every sentence in the linked document supports every aspect of a record. Status and implementation observations are distinct from executed agreements, cash disbursements and verified physical milestones. Private research and pending editor reviews are excluded.
