Mining and oil & gas flow through shares are essentially common shares of a company which permit the initial purchaser to claim a deduction up to the amount of the share price against any taxable income they might claim. They allow Canadian investors to participate in the resource sector while enjoying significant tax benefits.

The shares themselves are common shares of Canadian resource companies issued to finance the exploration and development of resource properties. The Federal government provides these tax benefits to encourage investment in mining exploration and development companies.

Eligible exploration expenditures have been 100% deductible from income from any source for at least two decades. These deductions effectively reduce or shelter before-tax income. Tax credits apply directly to reduce taxes payable.

The tax credit is non-refundable, which means that the taxpayer must owe tax in order to use the claim. However, it can be carried back and applied against taxes paid in the previous three years. Unused tax credits may also be carried forward for up to ten years.

The result is that small mining operations benefit because they can obtain funds for exploration from investors who can write off the investment with favorable tax deductions. The investors also gain shares in mining companies which may result in solid returns in their own right. It is truly a win-win situation.

Why Now?

  • Junior mining exploration market is still in the early stages of recovery and many companies are still trading at very low prices compared to historical highs.
  • A weaker US dollar, reduced gold sales by Central Banks, increased buying at the individual and government level in China and very low interest rates will continue to favour gold and precious metals.
  • As world economies recover, in particular India and China, demand for base metals will improve leading to higher prices.
