Abstract:

From a government perspective, exploration investment is important for future global competitiveness in
mineral industries. Canada provides an example of a nation that promotes exploration and is a major
target of companies’ exploration budgets. This paper analyzes impacts of the government policies and tax
incentive programs on exploration spending by mining companies in Canada. The study is performed
using econometric modeling of the Canadian exploration expenditures over the period of 1969-2008. Our
analysis confirms that the tax incentive programs were effective in increase of exploration spending by
the junior mining companies.
