Miners have good reason to be interested in the north, according to Wally Schumann, Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment of the Northwest Territories.The Norwest Territories has traditionally been a gold-heavy area, but now boasts access to a diverse range of industrial metals, as well as three operating diamond mines, making the area the world's third largest producer of diamonds. "We have 1.3 million square kilometers of area, so that's a large piece of property. We believe there's an abundance of minerals that is richer than the Ring of Fire in Ontario," Schumann told Kitco News.
