'Fifteen years is not acceptable' to open a mine, says Minister George Pirie
The northwest and the Timmins area has become an exploration hot bed for lithium, nickel, platinum group metals and other raw materials that international automakers and digitalcompanies want secured in making the transition to zero-carbon technologies.
Northern Ontario and its abundant mineral resources are key to feeding those plants with battery-grade material. But the government needs to quicken the mine permitting pace. Since being appointed Mines Minister last July, George Pirie, a former mining executive and Timmins MPP, said he’s been listening to the minerals producers.
Among the proposed amendments include having more qualified professionals available to certify plans and allowing companies to conditionally file a closure plan while deferring certain elements to a later date.
