flag Ontario ranks second globally in mining investment, up from 15th, due to faster permitting, stable policies, and $500M in critical mineral infrastructure.

flag Ontario has risen to second place globally for mining investment, behind only Nevada, according to the Fraser Institute’s 2025 Annual Survey of Mining Companies, up from 15th place the previous year. flag The province’s improved ranking is attributed to streamlined permitting—cutting review times by 50%—reduced tax concerns, and stronger policy stability. flag Ontario is investing $500 million to process and refine critical minerals locally and advancing major infrastructure, including transmission lines to electrify northern regions and connect the Ring of Fire. flag These efforts aim to unlock $22 billion in GDP and strengthen Indigenous partnerships. flag While British Columbia and other provinces lag due to policy uncertainty, Ontario is positioning itself as a reliable, ethical partner in global supply chains amid rising demand for minerals used in clean energy and electric vehicles.
