ADVOCACY

PDAC recommendation acknowledged

Our call to increase the Mineral Exploration Tax Credit incentive was recognized in Prime Minister Trudeau's mandate letter to Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland. We want to see Canadian explorers leading in the discovery of the critical minerals needed for a net-zero future and are encouraged by this commitment by government.
