Manitoba’s mining and exploration industries play a key role in our province’s economic prosperity.
CommitmentManitoba’s Economic Growth Action Plan and Look North initiative underscore our province’s firm commitment to invest, build, and grow. The Action Plan envisions a nimble approach to economic development and a collaborative relationship between government and the private sector, while Look North identifies the province’s mineral potential as the single most likely source of sustainable, long-term economic prosperity in the North. Working together, these initiatives demonstrate a commitment to ensuring our province is a place where the mining sector can grow and prosper for decades to come.
Making it HappenThe Manitoba government is working hard to connect goals, strategies, relationships and partnerships:
Jump-starting ExplorationAs a part of the Manitoba Works 40,000 Jobs Plan, Manitoba contributed $20 million to a new Mineral Development Fund to jump-start mineral exploration and economic development initiatives in the province. Managed by the Manitoba Chambers of Commerce, the fund involves additional annual input of up to six per cent of revenues provided under The Mining Tax Act. Communities, businesses, Indigenous groups, municipalities and the not-for-profit sector are eligible to apply for funding. Financial assistance from the fund could include one-time grants to advance new mining opportunities and outreach to First Nations for collaborative resource development.
Engaging First NationsThe Manitoba – First Nations Mineral Development Action Plan sets important parameters for how Crown–Indigenous consultations occur during all phases of the mining cycle, from exploration to development, operation to closure. This engagement will help to create certainty in order to advance projects in a timely manner and ensure First Nations can be
Exploration and investment are the driving forces behind a sustainable minerals sector. Manitoba is home to a wealth of natural resources, world-class deposits and underexplored remote regions of high mineral potential. Our quality geoscience data coupled with our rich natural resources forms a solid foundation for Manitoba’s minerals sector.

actively involved in all phases of development projects within their traditional territories. The Protocol process is open to all Indigenous communities with immediate or potential mineral development opportunities.
Advancement is happening. Manitoba recently signed a new consultation protocol with Manto Sipi Cree Nation (Gods River), and is also engaged in discussions with ten other First Nations relating to the development of consultation protocols.
Strengthening Ideas To support the establishment of protocol agreements and to advise government on priority issues about mining and mineral exploration, Manitoba launched an industry-led Liaison Committee on Mining and Exploration. Working with the Economic Development Office and regional economic development partners, the group is committed to supporting the goals of the Economic Growth Action Plan. The committee’s work includes making recommendations for sustainable development, reconciliation, and offering solutions to challenges facing the industry, including Indigenous relations, permitting, government capacity and incentives.
Working Together Manitoba’s mineral sector turns commitments into actions. Industry, associations, Indigenous and northern communities, idea-brokers, investors and explorers are moving ahead in ways that respect our land, natural resources and people, while sharing a common goal…
…to make Manitoba a worldwide leader in mineral exploration and investment attractiveness.
Manitoba has many advantages that make it an ideal location for business.
Close proximity to supply inputs and markets, excellent transportation providers, and a skilled workforce at competitive wages are just a few of the reasons to locate in Manitoba.
Manitoba has one of Canada’s most diverse and dynamic economies. This diversity makes the overall economy one of the strongest and most stable in Canada.
Strategically located in the heart of North America, with transportation connections via air, rail and road, and with standard border wait times of ten minutes or less, Manitoba offers ready access to the U.S. market and many other benefits.
Extremely competitive business costsInternational studies of business costs conducted by KPMG have consistently shown the competitiveness of business costs in Manitoba. According to the most recent edition of KPMG’s Competitive Alternatives study, Winnipeg ranks as the lowest-cost city in which to conduct business in the North American midwest.
Low-cost, high-quality utilitiesManitoba has abundant, environmentally sustainable hydroelectric capacity, the lowest published electrical rates in Canada, high system reliability and superior power quality.
Economical access to North American markets• Manitoba’s central location makes it easy
to reach from any point in North America. Excellent connections by air, road and rail save travel and delivery time.
• Winnipeg is the only city in Western Canada, besides Vancouver, that is served by three continental railways. With three rail connections to the United States, Manitoba enjoys ready access to the world’s largest market.
A well-educated, professional workforce• Manitoba’s workforce is known for its strong work ethic, quality
and dedication. Low employee turnover levels result in reduced recruitment and training costs for employers.
• Manitoba’s workforce is multilingual, with more than a quarter of the population claiming a language other than English as their mother tongue.
• Flin Flon is home to the Northern Manitoba Mining Academy, which offers training in the mining and construction-related trades to develop a knowledgeable, skilled, and sustainable workforce for the industry.
Mineral Commodities in Manitoba
Manitoba’s outstanding world-class deposits are central to building a prosperous and robust economy, to fostering sustainable and strong communities, and to strengthening employment growth for all Manitobans. These deposits include gold, copper-zinc, nickel, lithium, rare metals and potash. Along with the discovery of diamonds, Manitoba also has the potential to host different types of uranium deposits. Further details on these commodities can be found on our website at www.manitoba.ca/iem/geo/commodity/
