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.

Youth - Geochemical Fingerprinting of Gold Occurrences Within the Nugget Pond Horizon of the Baie Verte Peninsula
926727
The goal of the project is to create a geochemical fingerprint of gold occurrences within and associated with the Nugget Pond Horizon of the Baie Verte Peninsula by systematic mapping and sample collection at numerous gold occurrences, prospects and the Nugget Pond Mine followed by whole rock and ICP analysis of the samples and the interpretation of the data. A report will be generated from the project work and the findings will be integrated into an exploration model for ongoing gold exploration in the region.

Implement Lean Manufacturing Improvements - Design a Preventative Maintenance Program for Point Rousse
915388
The Firm intends to conduct Lean Manufacturing/Productivity Studies and implement improvements at its Point Rousse gold processing plant. Included in that effort, the Firm intends to apply Lean principles to the Maintenance Department to develop accurately detailed maintenance plans and scheduled tasks. Once the preventative maintenance plan is designed and implemented there will be less waste (time, materials, etc.), less rework (jobs have done correctly the first time), all work performed will be value added, to name a few of the Lean principles that apply directly. The implementation of preventative maintenenace will contribute to increased efficiency of the Firm's operations.

Develop a Fast and Effective Low-cost Process to Remove Suspended Solids from the Fragmentation-in-Place Process Water
912064
There are numerous (geometrically) challenging mineral deposits throughout Newfoundland, Atlantic Canada and North America that could potentially benefit from a new approach to mining. The Firm believes that the Narrow Vein Mining technique it is currently developing in affiliation with a local partner has great potential to develop an economic solution to the mining of such deposits and considers it a revolutionary approach to mineral extraction using a Fragmentation-in-Place concept. During its Fragmentation-in-Place drilling process, large amounts of the water will be used down the hole to cool the drill bit and reduce dust, as well as to assist with the transportation of the rock cuttings to the surface. The intention of this project is develop a means to reclaim and to reuse that water for drilling to reduce the need for fresh water.

Youth-Green - Environmental Baseline Monitoring Initiative - Argyle
908122
This project will entail the hiring of two Youth to develop a monitoring program for water quality, air quality and noise centered around the development of the Argyle Gold Deposit by determining the associated baseline levels. This provides the platform for continued monitoring once mining activity begins.

Youth-Green - Environmental and Regulatory Compliance Monitoring During Bulk Sample Excavation at Goldboro Site in Nova Scotia
906089
Anaconda Mining will excavate a 10,000t underground ore bulk sample at its wholly owned Goldboro project in Nova Scotia. The ore will be retrieved from an existing development which is currently flooded. The Youth will be monitoring the dewatering system setup and operation while the water is being pumped from the existing decline to the polishing pond. He will be taking water samples to ensure compliance with current regulations and ensuring that environmental and safety compliance is achieved at the construction/mining site during this period.
