MetalQuest Mining has applied for a 21-year mining lease on the former Timminco magnesium mine in Renfrew County, Ontario, where Canada first produced magnesium at an industrial scale. Magnesium is a critical mineral with a highly concentrated global supply, mostly from China, and no current commercial-scale primary production in North America. The application is under review by the Ontario Ministry of Energy and Mines and includes environmental and Indigenous consultations. If approved, MetalQuest plans staged exploration to assess the site's potential to restart magnesium production, supporting local industrial use and addressing supply chain risks.
