Nova Scotia has launched a new online portal that aims to allow mining companies to apply for and track their licence and permit applications online.

The province intends to make doing business in the mining sector easier in Nova Scotia through its new portal, called NovaMINE, an Oct. 14 news release says. The portal will “streamline” mine permitting and provide additional transparency for the entire permitting process.
