Ring of Fire
The Ring of Fire is one of the most promising mineral development opportunities in Ontario in almost a century. Located in Ontario’s Far North, current estimates suggest multi-generational potential of chromite production and significant production of nickel, copper and platinum. Ontario is committed to working with the federal government and industry to support the development of the Ring of for remote First Nation communities, as well as economic opportunities for Northern Ontario. ....
sounds exciting eh?
Problem was....this was on page 243 of 364.
There was other stuff to get you excited ...if you looked for it ..on pages 61-64.
Ma and Pa ..most likely did not review 364 pages of the Ontario budget in 2013.
They most likely have not heard of this once every 100 years discovery ..right in Ontario.
Ma and Pa..maybe?... read the brief few paragraphs with highlights of the budget in the local newspaper...in which the Ring of Fire was not even mentioned...or they sat on the couch in the evening..watched the news ....and were not made aware of the Ring of Fire.
This May 1, 2014 will be different.
