This proclamation recognizes the people, expertise and innovation that drive the industry, as well as the simple truth that there are no future mines without exploration.

Thank you to Thank you to Vancouver City Council (Mayor Ken Sim, Councillors Lenny Zhou and Mike Klassen) for recognizing the essential role our industry plays in building Canada's future.

The Canadian Exploration Expense (CEE) is one of the most powerful tools Canada has to accelerate critical mineral development. But right now, it's not working as hard as it could.

Expanding the CEE to include engineering and feasibility work is a practical, targeted change that would reduce the financial burden on explorers, strengthen Canada's exploration pipeline, and improve investment certainty at exactly the moment Canada needs it most. 🇨🇦⛏️🏔️

AME is leading the charge on this file — and we're calling on the Government of Canada to make this change in the next federal budget.

If your organization supports a stronger, more competitive mineral exploration sector, we invite you to add your name to our industry letter: https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/019ebd1508b17d6689abf37825c3d373
