🚀 Ontario Junior Exploration Program (OJEP)
OJEP offers non‑producing junior mining companies—and licensed prospectors in Ontario—up to $200,000 per project(funding up to 50% of eligible costs) to support early-stage mineral exploration, including critical minerals. It helps attract investment, drive job creation, and strengthen Indigenous and Northern community participation.
