Abstract:

Canada, abundant in mineral resources, plays a key role in global mining sector by its mining status. Ontario is a big mining province in Canada with a vital position in its economy. The 2008 economic crisis imposed an impact to the mining sector in Ontario province that exploration investment was sharply dropping, mines were partly closed, many mine workers lost jobs and mining stock values and exchanges were largely decreased. Ontario’s government and large mining enterprises adopted a series of approaches to the economic crisis, including adjusting public geological departments, optimizing mining laws, promoting mining tax system, boosting mining sector’s position in its economy, and regulating production plan according to market rules, which played a key role in reducing impact of economic crisis to mining sector. This provides an important reference for China’s geological work.

Key words: economic crisis, impact, approach, Ontario province
