Financing junior mining exploration through flow through shares: Where are we now?

Flow through share financing has historically contributed to approx. 65% of funds raised on Canadian stock exchanges for exploration and development across the country generating significant mining exploration within Canadian borders. With recent incentives for critical mineral exploration and proposed changes to the capital gains inclusion rate, this round table discusses the intent of the FTS policy in Canada and examines the FTS program from a tax and legal perspective exploring where recent proposed legislative changes have created a lack of synergy between the policy intent and incentives to shareholders. Panelists will discuss the impact the legislative changes could have on the market and explore future policy changes that could realign legislation with incentivizing grass roots exploration and mining development in Canada.
