GOVERNMENT INCENTIVES SUPPORT THE RESOURCE SECTOR
Resource based companies have been the economic lifeline of many remote and rural communities. R&D tax credits, exploration tax credits, government grants and interest free loans are available as incentives to mining and forest sector businesses to become more efficient, reduce waste, improve the environment, increase sales, train employees and find work for laid off staff.
