ABSTRACTS Mineral Exploration and Mining Ontario Rob Ferguson MNDM The Ministry of Northern Development and Mines working jointly with ServiceOntario, is developing an internet gateway for the mineral exploration and mining industry. This new service is an important part of the Ontario’s new mineral development strategy to improve the long term sustainability and global competitiveness of Ontario’s mineral sector by developing a more efficient and more transparent permitting and approval system. This new internet site is a one-stop electronic window into government services related to exploration and mining. The Gateway provides fast up-to-date information on all the regulatory aspects of developing a mineral property, from prospecting to building a new mine. The presentation is an overview the new website. The internet address of the web site is www.serviceontario.ca/mining.
