Is Canada losing the exploration game?

On the other hand, Makuch is increasingly frustrated with exploration in Ontario, where Kirkland Lake operates the Macassa, Holt and Taylor gold mines. He said changes to Ontario’s Mining Act and lack of clarity around how to forge agreements with Indigenous communities is driving explorers out of the province.

“Look at the Ring of Fire [an expansive metal-rich area in the James Bay Lowlands of Ontario discovered a decade ago that is stranded by both lack of infrastructure and politics] – is it getting explored? Is it getting developed? We need clearer rules and a better idea of what communities want.”
