Day 1: GoldTerra finding New Promise in History

As delegates gather virtually for this year’s Association of Mineral Exploration (AME) Roundup, the Northwest Territories Geological Survey (NTGS) has released its 2020 NWT Mineral Exploration Overview.

January 15, 2021

Monday, January 18th will be the first “virtual” day of the annual five-day Mineral Exploration Roundup - one of the largest gatherings of the global exploration industry.

An additional $100K is being invested in four exploration projects supported by the Mining Incentive Program (MIP).

With a total impact of 27 percent of GDP, diamond mining was the largest private sector industry in the NWT and the primary foundation of our economy in 2019.  

The Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment has released a comparison of the NWT’s mining regime against 21 Canadian and international jurisdictions.

Following a revision of the Mining Incentive Program (MIP) to enhance support and emphasis on public safety, the Department of Industry Tourism and Investment (ITI) has selected 20 mineral exploration projects to receive program funding for 2020-21. 

The 20 projects will benefit from the $1 million in total program funding. The successful projects were selected from 28 applications, which marks a continuing interest in NWT mineral exploration despite the significant challenges faced this year by the industry.

Developed by ITI’s Mineral and Petroleum Resources Division, the “NWT Walking Tour App” is available (free) from the App Store and Google Play store.  It was released as part of NWT Mining Week (June 21-27, 2020) which, this year took place entirely online.
