Ontario and Nevada have signed a formal agreement to enhance the mining industry in both of those jurisdictions.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo signed the agreement Wednesday during a ceremony at Queen’s Park. They were joined by Vic Fedeli, Ontario’s minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade, and a Nevada-led delegation that includes other government leaders, said a news release.
Nevada governor Lombardo said the agreement was based on the strong mining sectors that exist in his state and in Ontario. The Sudbury-based MineConnect organization has been working in recent years on forming partnerships with American mining companies and mining supply firms, especially in Nevada.
