Ontario Mining Association (OMA)
Economic Contribution
Mining is a key contributor to the Ontario economy, as well as an engine for regional development and value-add generation. Though the number fluctuates with various commodity price changes, mining in Ontario produces revenues of around $10 billion per year. When taking into account indirect and induced benefits, the value of mineral production grows considerably - for instance, Ontario's $10.8 billion in mineral production in 2015 almost doubles in value to $18.5 billion. Ultimately, Ontario's mineral production, including indirect and induced impacts, provides for more than $12 billion in Canadian GDP and creates 78,800 jobs.
The impact of mining goes beyond mineral extraction and processing. Mining is linked to many other industries and sectors in the economy, including transportation, construction, equipment manufacturing, environmental management, geological services, education and research, among others. The industry provides a major boost to our financial sector: the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) is the leading global mining exchange, listing more of the world's public mining companies and raising more mining equity capital than any other exchange.
