Patience is the key for mining development in the Kenora district.
That's the message being delivered by Craig Ravnass, geologist with the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines.
Ravnass says most mining companies are still in the exploration stage.
Ravnass stresses the future looks bright for possible production in the future.
He was a member of the mining panel at the Kenora District Municipal Association Confernce in Dryden over the weekend.
