Deadline: Ongoing Opportunity
Ontario is now inviting applications for its Advanced Exploration and Development Program to Support Sub-Stream which assists communities and member communities with support to respond to advanced exploration and mine development projects.
Funding through this stream is:
- project-based
- limited to the costs associated with coordinating the review of advanced exploration and development projects
- not intended to replace support received from project proponents
Funding Information
- Applicants may receive up to $15,000.
Eligibility Criteria
- Funding up to an annual maximum of $15,000 for a one-year term is available to Aboriginal communities in Ontario in areas of high mineral development activity.
- While priority will be given to communities that do not have an existing Mineral Development Advisor (MDA) position, communities with MDAs are encouraged to apply if their workload requires additional support to respond to advanced exploration and mine development project requests.
- Funding is project-based and will be limited to the costs associated with coordinating the review of advanced exploration and mine development project notices.
- Funding allocated through this stream is not intended to replace support received from project proponents.
- Aboriginal communities should discuss this sub-stream with one of the ministry’s Mineral Exploration and Development Consultants (MEDCs) before applying.
