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.

Agreement:

Liberation of Critical Minerals Using CO2 Pulverization

Agreement Number:

1032095

Duration: from Apr 1, 2025 to Mar 17, 2026
Description:

The firm will validate its CO2 Pulverization process to enhance mineral liberation and selective comminution in critical mineral ores. By benchmarking against incumbent comminution, the Firm aims to achieve an increase in exposed mineral surface area and improved mineral concentration in key size fractions. By also engaging industry partners, the project will generate vital quantitative data, drive new IP, and inform the design of a commercial-scale CO2 Pulverization system.
