Ontario developing first-Critical Minerals Strategy

The Canadian initiative is intended to generate investment, create jobs and opportunities in the mining sector.

In Canada, the Ontario government is developing its first-Critical Minerals Strategy which will support Ontario's transition to a low-carbon economy.

Ontario hosts critical minerals, including, but not limited to nickel, copper, cobalt and platinum group elements.

To inform the Critical Minerals Strategy, the Province is releasing a discussion paper for public consultation on the Environmental Registry of Ontario. A consultation with industry and Indigenous communities will also help guide the development of the Strategy to be released later this year.
