What happened
The Ontario government announced it is streamlining the permit and approval process for Mayfair Gold Corporation’s Fenn-Gib Gold mine near Black River-Matheson under a new framework. The province stated this framework is designed to cut approval times for a new mine by half. Ecojustice Canada highlighted the mine project near Black River-Matheson.

Why it matters
The Fenn-Gib Gold project is expected to create 250 long-term jobs in the area. The provincial policy change involves replacing the 2007 Endangered Species Act with a new version, a move environmental groups argue streamlines approvals at the expense of existing legislation.
A mine project has been located in the Northwestern Ontario region.
