| The F.A.M.E. Program,
first introduced in the 1986/87 fiscal year, was a provincial initiative with $5 million in funding to promote private
sector mineral exploration and mine development in British Columbia. The program was introduced in response to the
recession of the early 1980s and the resulting reduction in mineral exploration and development activity in the province.
The program was discontinued in 1988. For more information on

1987. Similar
to the F.A.M.E. Program, The Explore B.C. Program (1994 to 1996) was part of a
five-year $100 million program to provide significant tax reductions and
exploration incentives to assist and promote private sector mineral
exploration in British Columbia. It was designed to provide part of
the risk capital required by mineral exploration companies to finance
their programs, to extend the economic lives of existing mines and
contribute to community stability in existing mining
regions.
