Survey: Review of flow-through shares and METC |
The Government of Canada is currently undertaking a review of flow-through shares and the federal 15% Mineral Exploration Tax Credit (METC). PDAC is actively involved in preparing a submission to Finance Canada about the importance of flow-through shares and the METC to the industry. If your company raised money through the issuance of flow-through shares, please complete a short online survey discussing how they were used and the impact of those funds. The survey is open until Friday, August 26. Learn more.  |
