We are recommending three initial foundational amendments to the FTS regime that will close gaps in current policy, add certainty for investors, and secure increased and accelerated investment in mineral exploration.
Recommendation 1: Renewing the METC indefinitely.
Recommendation 2: Expand the CMETC to include all 34 critical minerals on Canada’s critical mineral list.
Recommendation 3: Expand the eligibility of Canadian Exploration Expenditures (CEE) to include economic and engineering studies as well as exploration and geological modeling of tailings.
