..back in March 2010 Lieutenant Governor David Onley stated that the Ring of Fire was the most promising mining discovery in a century.
AT the same time in March 2010 this was said:
The province hopes developing a recently discovered massive deposit of chromite in the Ring of Fire area, 500 kilometres northeast of Thunder Bay, will help drive down the $21.3 billion deficit.
“For the 21st century, the discovery of chromite in the Ring of Fire could be as big as the discovery of nickel was in Sudbury in the 19th century,” Finance Minister Dwight Duncan said in his budget speech.
The ring’s development will be managed by a new coordinators office, which will bring together competing interests, from First Nations to mining companies, the government and environmentalists.
Let's hear what Onley and Duncan have to say next week about what exactly is the plan to create jobs.
