Ontario approves First Nations-led plan for Ring of Fire road RingOfFire nickel copper Ontario mining EV EVsupplychains mining FirstNations community
The Ontario government has approved the terms of reference designed and submitted by First Nations for the all-season, multi-use road connecting to the proposed Ring of Fire mining development area.
The Northern Road Link will connect the Webequie and Marten Falls First Nations communities, and the critical mineral deposits in the Ring of Fire to the Ontario highway network.“I want to thank Webequie First Nation and Marten Falls First Nation for leading the environmental assessment for this essential road corridor.
“The Ring of Fire has the critical minerals we need to build our manufacturing supply chain, including nickel for electric vehicles and chromite for clean steel. Our government’s investments in innovation and infrastructure are creating jobs across the entire province, including northern and Indigenous communities.
“The Ontario government has approved the terms of reference as submitted by Marten Falls and Webequie First Nations which is an important first step in the environmental process that will enable critical transportation infrastructure to be built,” said Environment, Conservation and Parks MinisterOne of the most advanced projects in the Ring of Fire region is the Eagle’s Nest nickel/copper/platinum/palladium deposit, being developed by Australian firm Wyloo Metals.
Based on existing exploration work, Eagle’s Nest will have an initial mine life of 11 years, with the potential for a nine year extension. It will produce high value product via selective underground mining methods. The mined ore will be processed into 150 000 t/y of nickel/copper and platinum group element-bearing concentrate.
