Flow-through shares |
Canada’s Federal Government is currently reviewing the flow-through share system and Mineral Exploration Tax Credit (METC). Both financing tools are the life-blood of grassroots exploration and a major reason why Canada is a global leader in mineral exploration and mining. PDAC is advocating for the METC to be renewed and for flow-through shares to be kept alive. We created a flow-through share section on our website that includes:
-
Questionnaire results completed by 54 industry representatives showing how they used flow-through shares.
-
Case studies showing how seed money for exploration activity and the discovery of a mineral resource can eventually lead to the development of a mine.
-
Interviews with executives of Canadian mining companies about flow-through shares.

Proposed update to U.S. mining disclosure rules |
|
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has proposed revisions to modernize U.S. property disclosure requirements that are intended to align the U.S. with global industry standards such as NI 43-101. Many commentators have noted that the proposed changes deviate from existing disclosure standards (such as NI 43-101), and if adopted in the form originally proposed, may create more problems than they solve. PDAC has made a submission to SEC on the proposed amendments.Learn more. |

Promoting leading community engagement practices |
The PDAC Aboriginal Affairs Program is collecting information from companies about activities they have undertaken, or are undertaking, to build positive relationships with Aboriginal communities and to enhance Aboriginal community participation in the minerals industry. The data that is collected will help PDAC tell the important stories of our members by:
|
|
|
-
Sharing stories through communication outlets (e.g. website, quarterly newsletter Core).
-
Using information when meeting government officials across Canada.
Please help us promote your stories by filling out the online questionnaire. If you have any questions, please contact Lesley Williams, Senior Manager, Aboriginal & Regulatory Affairs, at [email protected]. |
