About the ASGA
The aggregate industry in Alberta represents thousands of employees, and mineral aggregate has the largest commercial value of any non-energy mineral resource produced in Alberta. A 2007 Statistics Canada Report estimated Sand and Gravel production in Alberta to be 48,430,000 tonnes worth $370,012,000.00. As producers and consumers, the aggregate industry industry contributes to the growth of Alberta’s oil and gas, construction and environmental industries, to name a few.
Construction aggregate resource is critical in the development of the transportation and structures infrastructure necessary to develop other new mineral and renewable resources, especially in northern Alberta. The ASGA is focused on the orderly and responsible development of Alberta’s aggregate resources, promoting high standards of workmanship and accountability related to the environment and to the safety of its operations.
