History
In November 2003 the Ontario Government by way of the Ontario Mineral Industry Cluster Council (OMICC) started to develop a "cluster approach" for the mineral resources industry within Ontario. This approach involved bringing together key stakeholders from Ontario's mineral sector-related industries, organizations, and government agencies.{{cite web |url=http://www.omicc.ca/doc/CEMI/CEMInews.html |title=CEMI News |accessdate=2009-11-02 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090129144059/http://www.omicc.ca/doc/CEMI/CEMInews.html |archivedate=2009-01-29 }} In 2006 the initial seed funding was provided by Vale Inco ($5 million), Xstrata ($5 million), Ontario Government ($10 million) and the City of Greater Sudbury ($50,000) in a combination of cash and in-kind contributions over the following three years.{{cite web|url=http://www.xstrata.com/media/news/2006/12/18/0701CET/ |title=Press room: News | Xstrata PLC |accessdate=2009-11-04 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20091004111245/https://www.xstrata.com/media/news/2006/12/18/0701CET/ |archivedate=2009-10-04 }} In 2007 CEMI was formally established as a not for profit corporation.
