Discover Abitibi
The Discover Abitibi Initiative is a regional, cluster economic development project based on geoscientific investigations of the western Abitibi greenstone belt. The initiative, centred on the Kirkland Lake and Timmins mining camps, will complete 19 projects developed and directed by the local stakeholders. FedNor, Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation, municipalities and private sector investors have provided the funding for the initiative. The analog and digital products are published and available through the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines (MNDM) Ontario Geological Survey. For ordering information, visit www.mndm.gov.on.ca/mndm/mines/ims/pub/releases/da/da13e.pdf or contact their Publication Sales office at pubsales@ndm.gov.on.ca.
