The previous mineral development strategy was released in 2006, and the government pledged to renew the plan for the growth of Northern Ontario.

The government received input about the strategy from prospectors, junior exploration and mining companies, environmental organisations, and Aboriginal and northern communities, before releasing the new plan.

"Our government is committed to supporting a globally competitive mineral development and mining sector."

Northern Development and Mines minister Michael Gravelle said: "Our government is committed to supporting a globally competitive mineral development and mining sector that provides significant social and economic contributions to Ontario’s economy and supports economic development for Aboriginal communities.
