Deloitte LLP will help establish Ring of Fire development corporation
TORONTO
The firm Deloitte LLP is being brought into by the Ontario government to help establish its development corporation that will be responsible for the infrastructure in the province’s Ring of Fire region.
Deloitte, a leading professional firm in consulting and corporate negotiation, will act as a neutral, third-party resource for key partners, including First Nations, the provincial and federal governments and industry. The firm will work with Ring of Fire partners to set clear paths and timelines for decision-making, create guiding principles for the development corporation, and seek consensus on the corporation’s next steps.
The government also announced that work is underway to help partners build a common understanding of infrastructure needs in the region. A third-party research report will examine existing infrastructure proposals and establish a common technical basis to inform decisions to maximize the economic and social potential of the Ring of Fire region.
The Ring of Fire, located in Ontario’s north, has a known mineral potential to be worth $60 billion and includes the largest deposit of chromite ever discovered in North America.
