It marks a small step forward in the province’s ambitions to become a major player in electric vehicle minerals
Ontario and two First Nations have agreed on terms of reference on an environmental assessment for the last of the three proposed roads into the Ring of Fire, a small step forward in the province’s ambitions to become a major player in electric vehicle minerals.
Ontario had already agreed in 2021 on terms of reference for two other road EAs connecting the provincial highway network to the Ring of Fire in the province’s far north. The last of the roads, called the Northern Link, would connect the Marten Falls First Nation to Webequie First Nation, and allow the operator of the Ring of Fire to transport mined nickel out of the region.
Complicating plans to develop the Ring of Fire is the morass of red tape that must be navigated before mining can begin. In addition to the EA on the Northern Link, there are five other provincial and federal environmental studies under way on roads into the Ring of Fire. Some are years behind schedule.
In addition, huge question marks remain over funding infrastructure into the Ring of Fire. While Ontario has committed close to $1-billion, the federal government is on the fence for another $1-billion that is needed.
