Mining Study Released

A new study says nine new mining projects in Northwestern Ontario are going to generate big bucks, at least 136 billion dollars.

However the study says in order to move ahead as quickly as possible, industry, government and First Nations have to work out their differences

The study also says the nine mines will help to generate over 13 thousand jobs and 16 billion dollars in tax revenue.

The study was headed by Dr. Bahram Dadgostar at Lakehead University who says some of the numbers the study uncovered surprised even him.
