Welcome to Volume 1, Issue 1 of the Ontario Mineral Producer e-newsletter
B
efore becoming an e-newsletter, this used to be a magazine called Ontario Mineral Exploration Review, Ontario Prospector, Ontario Mining Review… No matter the name, one thing was clear: mineral exploration in Ontario is abundant, and it is not slowing down any time soon. Although we are no longer printing physical copies of our magazine, the content will remain mostly the same – maybe even better. Coupled with our e-newsletter – which will be digitally released every March, June, September, and December – is our website where you can read about what’s happening in the industry. Feel free to visit www.ontariomineralproducer.ca for the latest news about mineral exploration in Ontario. For the first issue, we have curated a number of interesting stories for your viewing pleasure, as well as messages from the Minister of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry, Greg Rickford. He discusses the introduction of the Ontario Junior Exploration Program (OJEP), a new cost-sharing initiative designed to introduce

junior mining companies with financing their early exploration projects in Ontario, as well as the new Critical Minerals Strategy, which will generate investment and increase Ontario’s competitiveness in the global markets. COVID-19 has been a pain for most, if not all of us, so Mining Family Matters teaches us about boosting resilience in the workplace – something we could all use in all aspects of our lives. NORCAT Underground Centre has been operating since early 2021, serving as both a mining technology innovation centre and skilled labour training and development facility. Read all about it in this e-newsletter. We hope you enjoy the first issue of Ontario Mineral Producer. We invite all interested companies to share their news and editorial ideas with us. To submit a story for future issues of this e-newsletter, please contact Cindy Chan at cindy@delcommunications.com.
