OMA Supports Changes to the Mining Act

The Ontario Mining Association is giving a cautious thumbs up to the revised Mining Act.

Changes were approved last week by the provincial government.

Chris Hodgson is President of the OMA and says it will affect junior mining companies the most.

Hodgson says the changes to the mining act will allow map-staking, meaning prospectors won't have to be on the ground to file their claims.
