The mining sector is exploring new opportunities, like the Ring of Fire, creating new jobs for Northerners..
One of the most promising opportunities Ontario has seen in generations is the Ring of Fire. This massive mineral deposit is one of the most significant and exciting natural resources Ontario has, already attracting more than 50 companies who want to be part of the development. Estimates suggest the potential for decades of chromite production, as well as significant production of nickel, copper and platinum. This is a major economic development opportunity for Northern Ontario that will lead to thousands of jobs for Northerners in the coming years
We need to work together to seize its benefits just as we always have when supporting Ontario’s mining sector. With our leadership, the entire province will be able to benefit economically from the Ring of Fire.

Now that we’re back on track, we need to keep moving forward, together. Ontario Liberals want to ensure we keep the flow of products and goods moving in the North. We’ll complete a multi-modal transportation plan to improve the road, rail, air and marine links that move products and people throughout the North.
We’ll work with companies, communities and First Nations to finalize the infrastructure needs for roads, rail lines and hydro corridors to open up the Ring of Fire for development.
We’ll also work to ensure the federal government is at the table for Northern communities and First Nations in planning for smart development of the Ring of Fire.
We’ll continue to work with First Nations, companies, and communities, coordinating infrastructure and planning to ensure world-leading environmental standards and a streamlined approach to approvals.
