Natural Resources
Minerals- Ontarios mining industry and the minerals produced are very important. Nickel is the most important mineral, which comes mainly from Sudbury. But Ontario also produces gold, copper, zinc, platinum, palladium, cobalt and silver. All of these minerals come from the Canadian Shield. Forestry- Ontarios forests are another important natural resource. Forestry is the most important industry in northern Ontario. Loggers cut down many trees to create things we need such as paper, lumber, and firewood. The forest industry is located in Ontarios boreal forest. Water- Ontario has a lot of natural waterways, such as the Great Lakes and its many rivers. The province can create electricity by using its waterways. Using the force of falling water in hydroelectric dams generates this electricity.
