The Canadian Shield’s primary resources are farming, mining and forestry. Even though the Canadian Shield has plentiful primary resources, it has very few secondary resources.

There are 5 main resources:

1. Furs - From our fur bearing animals(hunting and trapping is still a large resource.
2.  Minerals - we extract copper, gold, nickel, zinc, lead, and diamonds thought mining.
   Great mining places are Sudbury, Ontario and Thompson, Manitoba and Yellowknife, Northwest Territories
3. Forestry
4. Hydro Electricity
5. Tourism
   

There are plentiful resources here, which also create lots of jobs!
