What is the Boreal Prospectors Association?

The BPA has been established as a member group of the Ontario Prospectors Association.

It is the intent of this Association to engage and support individual northern prospectors and to facilitate community-industry interaction by encouraging capacity building and mutual understanding. The BPA will represent and further the interests of its members in order to promote mineral exploration as an important economic base for sustainable development in Northern Ontario.

More than 80 members from over 30 communities make up the voice of the Association.

The Association has established a functional executive including: Thomas Tookate, Doug Parker, Luc McKay, Mike Fox, David Duchesne, Michael Cunningham and Mitch Diabo. A constitution is being developed with the intent to ratify it at the 2007 annual general meeting.

Everyone with an interest in benefiting from mineral exploration in northern Ontario should participate in the association. Individuals, community leaders and planners and those directly involved with mineral exploration all have an important role to play in this association.

You can become involved with the Boreal Prospector Association by becoming a member, serving as a director, attending our annual general meeting and symposium (February 27th and 28th, 2006 in Sioux Lookout) or by providing financial support.
