Nice find Goldie! Especially like that last page.

• Consortia to Provide Total Solutions for Global Mine Opportunities
The objective would be to overcome virtually the barrier of scale, and to mobilize fast responses to global opportunities.
The benefits would include: a unique selling proposition, worldwide; superior products or services for the sector to sell; increased internal value-add; and it could support specialization, e.g., specific commodity mining (gold), specialized operations (open pit), or geographic focus (Timmins, Thunder Bay, etc.).
There would be challenges. These include: governance; cost management; likely need for branding; and staged development. Nevertheless, the survey showed this action item to be the one most supported by the sector.
• A Foreign Market Entry Program
The objective would be to assist sector firms and organizations enter export markets, and to support optimum approaches in terms of partnerships, distributors, and product/service profiles.
The benefits would include: enhanced market awareness of sector products and services; market specific intelligence on local opportunities, regulations, and competitors; and lower costs for Northern Ontario firms looking to export.
