Timmins economy is influenced by the boom-and-bust business cycle. Its economic state is mainly run by its main business, that is mining. This has its advantages and disadvantages - if gold and different base-metal prices are high, the city's economy goes up exponentially. As a result, if the prices go down, then the local market likewise goes down. Nonetheless, gold prices are fairly high in nearly all cases, so the city enjoys a healthy financial system nearly all of the time. Different industries consist of tourism, recreation, education, forestry, health care, industrial commerce, commercial commerce and telecommunications. The community has been creating several new underground mining operations, and is now opening up a large scale surface mining reclamation program in the east end.
