CVRD Inco's Ontario Operations is to contribute $50,000 (£25,000) a year for the next three years to the Mines Rehabilitation Partnership Project managed by the Ontario Mining Association (OMA) and the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines (MNDM).

According to the OMA, the project - a partnership between the industry and the government - has made a substantial effort to clean up the legacy of abandoned mine sites.

"I am personally committed to this initiative because of the many benefits it provides for our stakeholders, our sector and the natural environment," Fred Stanford, president of Ontario Operations for CVRD Inco told the OMA.

"It will be a very visible symbol of our values related to our shared concern for the safety and health in our communities."

Projects to be pursued under the scheme are jointly selected by the OMA and the MNDM.
The next project is the former Kam Kotia site in the Timmins area of Ontario.

The OMA was established in 1920 to represent mining activity in the province.
