‘Carney recognizes the resource strength that Canada has,’ said Leigh Curyer
As Prime Minister Mark Carney looks to pass legislation to fast-track major projects, the chief executive of the company planning Canada’s largest uranium mine currently under development in northern Saskatchewan is hoping its project will be a beneficiary.
Leigh Curyer, chief executive of Vancouver-based NexGen Energy Ltd., which is working to develop the $2-billion Rook I Project in the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan’s Far North, said he’s optimistic about Carney’s plans to turn Canada into an “energy superpower” and speed up development of major projects.
“Carney recognizes the resource strength that Canada has,” he said.

The legislation further looks to establish a major projects office.
