The Ontario government is moving to implement a strategy that will enhance the mineral sector's global competitiveness, Minister of Northern Development and Mines Rick Bartolucci said Monday.

The Sudbury MPP announced Ontario's Mineral Development Strategy at the annual convention of the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) in Toronto.

The strategy's four key objectives are promoting long-term sustainability and global competitiveness, supporting modern, safe and environmentally sound exploration and mining, clarifying and modernizing mineral resource stewardship and promoting community development opportunities.

The Ministry of Natural Resources and Natural Resources Canada have released a new video designed to provide aboriginal communities with a better understanding of Northern Ontario's mining industry.

The video, called Our Community . . . Our Future: Mining and Aboriginal Communities, describes the mining sequence from government geological surveying and mapping through the entire exploration and mining process, to mine closure and rehabilitation.
