The Northwest Territories Geological Survey has opened the 2021-22 application period for the Northwest Territories (NWT) Mining Incentive Program (MIP). The NWT MIP provides funding to prospectors and exploration companies proposing new exploration projects or already carrying out NWT mineral exploration work.
In response to COVID-19, several changes were made to the 2020-2021 MIP. During 2021-2022, it is expected that the pandemic will continue to impact NWT mineral exploration and the majority of program changes made for 2020-2021 will be continued for the upcoming year.
