The Ontario mining sector plays an important role in the overall Ontario and Canadian economy. The principal minerals and metals extracted or produced in Ontario are gold, nickel, copper, cement, sand and gravel. The major mining centers in Ontario are Sudbury, Timmins, Kirkland Lake, Red Lake and Hemlo/Marathon.

U.S. suppliers of mining equipment or services are well positioned to increase their market presence in Ontario’s billion dollar mining sector. We encourage U.S. companies to contact the U.S. Commercial Service to receive more information on how to increase their export potential in Canada’s mining equipment and services market.
