Ontario Minister of Energy and Mines Stephen Lecce announced that Mayfair Gold Corporation's Fenn-Gib Gold Project has been designated under the 'One Project, One Process' (1P1P) framework, marking the fourth project expedited by the initiative. Located near Matheson in the Timmins gold district, the $450 million open-pit gold project features an estimated 4.3 million ounces of indicated gold resource, an initial 15-year mine life, and processing capacity of approximately 4,800 tonnes per day. The development is projected to generate 250 long-term jobs, 450 construction jobs, and add $3 billion to the provincial GDP, with production targeted to begin in 2030 following permitting and construction between 2028 and 2030.

The Ontario government is investing $11 million through the Critical Minerals Processing Fund (CMPF) delivered by Invest Ontario to support Generation Mining's $410 million copper and palladium processing complex in Marathon, Ontario. The facility is the first recipient of the CMPF and is designed to convert raw ore into materials for electrification, advanced manufacturing, and defence as part of the broader $992 million Marathon Project. Once fully operational, the project will create more than 450 permanent jobs and support 800 construction-phase jobs, helping build an end-to-end domestic critical minerals supply chain.

Glencore Canada has achieved first access to nickel ore at its nearly $2 billion Onaping Depth Project in Greater Sudbury, a 2,600-metre-deep extension of the previously shut down Craig Mine. The project is projected to produce one million tonnes of ore per year at scale, yielding approximately 280 kilotonnes of nickel and 145 kilotonnes of copper beyond 2040, while supporting 400 full-time jobs at full production in 2027. The operation utilizes an all-electric fleet of 66 vehicles to reduce emissions and energy use, with ore being processed at Glencore's Strathcona Mill and Sudbury Smelter.
