On the face of it, the Province of Ontario and the State of Nevada would seem to have little in common: Nevada with its arid desert valleys; Northern Ontario, in the Canadian Shield landform region, containing the majority of Ontario’s 250,000 freshwater lakes. Yet although roughly 3,000 km apart, Northern Ontario and Nevada are the closest of neighbours below the surface, united by mining and the efforts of MineConnect.
Originally known as the Sudbury Area Mining Supply & Service Association (SAMSSA), MineConnect Canada has expanded to become Northern Ontario’s Mining Supply and Services Association. Serving as the voice of the province’s growing mining sector, MineConnect actively works for its members. These include manufacturers and service providers in traditional industries such as fixed mining equipment, mine contractors, and blasting, along with emerging industries like automation, software, and battery electric vehicle companies and suppliers.
Helping to introduce Canadian companies to mine-rich Nevada, MineConnect USA was launched in Elko, the county seat of Elko County, Nevada, three years ago.
