Money for prospecting

As prospectors gain some experience and want to press forward with more activity, they can consider applying to the province for funding under the prospector assistance program. The program —$350,000 committed in Budget 2016 — offers grants of up to $6,000 for basic prospecting and $12,000 for more advanced early exploration activity. More on the program is available on the Department of Natural Resources website, http://www.nr.gov.nl.ca/nr/mines/exploration/mip/PA_ Guide_2016_17.pdf
