The kit is a product of a partnership between the Government of Canada (Natural Resources Canada and Indian and Northern Affairs Canada), the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC), the Mining Association of Canada (MAC) and the Canadian Aboriginal Minerals Association (CAMA). The material was developed in response to a need identified through a survey of Aboriginal communities.         English version | version française To obtain the information kit in alternate formats, please contact Natural Resources Canada.
