The Manitoba Mineral Development Fund (MMDF) is a $20M provincial fund, administered by the Manitoba Chambers of Commerce, that provides non-repayable grant funding for northern economic development and mining projects that create Indigenous partnerships, increase local employment, and stimulate investment in mining in Manitoba.

Our key objectives are to:

1. Increase mineral exploration and development in Manitoba.
2. Support workforce and business development to strengthen the mining supply chain in Manitoba.
3. Advance economic reconciliation through meaningful partnerships with Indigenous communities, businesses, and the mining sector in Manitoba.
4. Support economic development in mining communities impacted by changes in mining activity (closures, downsizing, expansion, new development)
