Winshear Metals (TSXV:WINS, FRA: 9HR)) reports that it qualified for and has received $169,892 from the Ontario government through the Ontario Junior Exploration Program (OJEP), covering 50% of the Company's qualifying exploration expenditures at the Thunder Bay Project, NW Ontario.
The OJEP supports early-stage mineral exploration by providing targeted funding, designed to:
encourage investment in mineral exploration
boost economic growth and create jobs across the province
prioritize opportunities in northern and Indigenous communities
"Ontario is leading the charge to secure the minerals that will power our economy and strengthen our sovereignty," said Stephen Lecce, Minister of Energy and Mines. "Through OJEP, we're backing companies like Winshear to advance promising projects here at home—unlocking resources, creating jobs, and building a more self-reliant and secure Canadian economy."
Richard Williams, CEO of Winshear, commented; "The Ontario Junior Exploration Program is an important program initiative provided by the Ontario Government to encourage, facilitate and speed up early stage, generative mineral exploration, which can lead to new mineral deposit discoveries. We are grateful for the support and recognition of what we are working to accomplish on the Thunder Bay Project."
