The Province is making it easier for companies to explore and invest in Nova Scotia’s mineral resources by undertaking a modern geophysical assessment of the province.
A request for proposals for the Provincial Geophysical Assessment and Data Acquisition Project was issued on May 4.
The intent is to hire a geophysical consulting firm to carry out targeted geophysical surveys and complete an assessment of the Minerals Play Fairway report, completed in 2018. These activities will provide important information to advance mineral exploration and attract investment.
“Nova Scotia has an abundance of natural resources at our fingertips. This project will help us better understand where these opportunities lie and make more important information available to potential investors,” said Kim Masland, Minister of Natural Resources.
“We applaud the Government of Nova Scotia making this strategic investment in the mining industry. It will improve our geological understanding of the province and help us create jobs and build a stronger Nova Scotia,” said Sean Kirby, executive director, Mining Association of Nova Scotia.
Geophysical surveys provide detailed information about underground geology using non invasive techniques.
This will support responsible resource development by improving planning, minimizing environmental disturbance and making high quality data publicly available to researchers, communities, and industry.
The project will be administered by Dalhousie University, with information made public once it is complete. The deadline for submissions is June 1.
“Dalhousie is pleased to partner with the Department of Natural Resources on the Provincial Geophysical Assessment and Data Acquisition Project. By strengthening the Province’s understanding of its geology and mineral potential, this initiative will help inform future development, support long term economic opportunity and advance research across Nova Scotia,” said Laura Hynes Jenkins, assistant vice-president, Government Relations, Dalhousie University.
