The purpose of MMDF is to provide financial support for mining and economic development initiatives that create new opportunities and capitalize on existing assets in the north and across Manitoba. Projects funded by MMDF will benefit Manitoba’s economy and local communities alike, with a partnership-based approach to help grow and diversify the provincial economy together with Indigenous communities.
The key objectives of MMDF are as follows: 1. Increase economic partnerships between Indigenous communities and the mineral development industry. 2. Build capacity in local communities and businesses to increase engagement in economic development opportunities. 3. Create and maintain short-term and long-term local employment opportunities. 4. Improve local training and education opportunities to build a skilled local workforce. 5. Diversify regional economies, particularly in areas of the Province that are impacted by fluctuations in the mineral development industry. 6. Stimulate investment in the mineral development industry.
