Mining active when Toronto was just an outpost

Thunder Bay, Ont., has played a direct part, as has all of Northern Ontario, in the mining community. In many respects, northern Ontario, as well as northern Quebec, have been the seminal geographic focus for mining in Canada. Mining was happening in northern Ontario when Toronto was nothing but a trading post. Some would say not a lot has changed in that regard, but indeed mining has changed and indeed our industry faces continual change.005 0000,0606 From a speech by Corona Corp. President Peter Steen.
