Project Funding
The Ontario Geological Survey began as the Ontario Bureau of Mines in 1891, with a mandate to aid in promoting Ontario's mining interests. Through key collaborations and advancing geoscience data collection techniques, the organization evolved into a globally renowned survey that is now at the forefront of geological research.
Since its establishment, the Ontario Geological Survey has contributed significantly to fostering investment in Ontario, protecting public health and safety, informing environmental and land-use planning decisions, and helping the province become Canada's top mineral jurisdiction.
