GO DEEPER.

New Experiences to Engage Northern Ontarians and Canadians in Modern Mining and Critical Minerals

About Dynamic Earth

Since opening in 2003, Dynamic Earth has become the hub for providing memorable experiences portraying the history and innovations of the mining industry to visitors from around the world. 

With an anticipated full opening date of early 2024, the Go Deeper project is a result of feedback from visitors and audiences, partners and industry stakeholders expressing a desire for Dynamic Earth to expand its experiences to further tell the stories of this rapidly changing and dynamic industry.  

  • Diverse Audiences

    These new and innovative experiences will appeal to and meet the needs of diverse audiences, including Indigenous people, youth, women and other underrepresented groups in the mining industry from across Northern Ontario and throughout Canada.

  • Inspire Generations

    Go Deeper will inspire coming generations to get involved in the industry by stimulating interest in career choices in mining, geology and engineering, helping to ensure a skilled workforce for the sector in the future.

  • Increase Support

    It will also increase public support of mining by raising awareness of emerging trends of innovation and technology in the industry, as well as the importance of critical minerals to our 21st century way of life.

The Go Deeper project will impact:

  • Up to 1 million people across Northern Ontario and beyond will be exposed to modern mining career opportunities, encouraging greater participation in the industry.
