Chinese mining firm files judicial review against Ottawa
The judicial review by Zijin could be a test case on how other Canadian companies approach their deal making with regards to Chinese investments.
The Ontario government is investing in new research by the mining industry to guide long-term development of this economically vital sector.
Two independent reports, funded in part by Ontario, highlight the significant economic impacts — including job creation — of the province’s mineral sector activity, and provide advice on how to maximize this impact:
The Ontario Mining Association (OMA) has released a report estimating the economic impact of a new gold mine in a relatively remote area of Northern Ontario to guide planning for all aspects of such a mineral development, including job training and creation. See: An Au-thentic Opportunity: The Economic Impacts of a New Gold Mine in Ontario
The Canadian Association for Mining Equipment and Services for Export (CAMESE) has released the first study that assesses the economic impact of the province-wide mining supply and services sector in Ontario, and identifies potential challenges as well as opportunities for growth. See: Pan-Ontario Mining Supply and Services Sector Economic Impact Study
Maximizing Ontario’s mineral potential is part of the government’s economic plan for Ontario. The four part plan is building Ontario up by investing in people’s talents and skills, building new public infrastructure like roads and transit, creating a dynamic, supportive environment where business thrives and building a secure savings plan so everyone can afford to retire.
