Grants and Contributions

About this information

In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.

The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.

Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Duration: from Aug 1, 2025 to Jan 30, 2026
Description:

Rosor Exploration is revolutionising mineral discovery in Australia with cutting-edge drone-based geophysical systems. Our semi-airborne electromagnetic (EM), magnetic, and magnetotelluric (MT) solutions provide faster, safer, and more cost-effective exploration for gold, lithium, copper, and critical minerals. Unlike traditional helicopter surveys, our drones deliver high-resolution, scalable data with a lower environmental footprint.
We’re seeking Australian partners in geophysical processing and geological interpretation to help us bring this next-generation exploration technology to Australia’s mineral-rich frontiers.
