Canada Nickel announced that Ontario has formally named its Crawford nickel project as the second project to be advanced under the province\u2019s new One Project, One Process (1P1P) framework. The first was Frontier Lithium\u2019s flagship PAK lithium project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Late last year, Crawford was referred to Canada\u2019s Major Projects Office, which advances major projects through a streamlined federal review process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOntario is moving at lightning speed to open this 100% Canadian owned mine to create 4,000 jobs for Canadian workers,\u201d said Minister of Energy and Mines Stephen Lecce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn 2026, our government is going full-tilt to unlock one of the world\u2019s largest nickel deposits that will supercharge our economy and help end China\u2019s critical mineral dominance. \u2018Made-in -Canada\u2019 from start to finish, as we build a domestic supply chain that includes the Western world\u2019s largest nickel sulphide mine, a new nickel processing plant and downstream alloy production facility.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 1P1P framework is designed to better coordinate Ontario\u2019s permitting and review processes for major mining developments by aligning timelines, responsibilities, and information sharing across provincial ministries. For Canada Nickel, this designation reflects the advanced state, scale and strategic importance of the Crawford project within Ontario\u2019s Critical Minerals Strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs the only mining project in Canada to secure this type of endorsement from both federal and provincial governments, today\u2019s announcement strengthens our commitment to commencing construction by year-end,\u201d added Mark Selby, CEO of Canada Nickel. \u201cWe look forward to working with the province through its newly announced Critical Minerals Processing Fund to help realize these ambitions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crawford is expected to be among the most economically significant mining developments in Canada. Independent analysis estimates the project will generate more than $70 billion in GDP over its initial 40-plus year mine life, including approximately $67 billion for Ontario alone, while supporting 1,000 direct and 3,000 indirect and induced jobs. Through its patented In-Process Tailings (IPT) Carbonation technology, Crawford is also expected to permanently store up to 1.5 million tonnes of CO\u2082 annually.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
