If you are a prospector that is at least 19 years old and are involved in independent mineral exploration activities, you could obtain a grant of up to $4,000 for traditional, grass-roots prospecting on Crown land. An extra $2,000 is also available for air (float plane or helicopter) support to remote areas.

If you need training, you can participate in a 14-day comprehensive training course in basic prospecting skills.
