Tt is ,felt' that new taxation
rules are deterring Prospectora
from continuation of their ef-

2 forts. This means that in a few

years, new mineral discoveries
shall come to a halt in Canada.
Large mining company em-
ployees, not ,having incentive
such as the Canadian

Prospector has had under fair
_ taxation treatment, do not
- discover mines In spite of what

they say. What they do is prove
mines where others discover
independently...
Our message is as follows;
If you are a Canadian
Prospector or interested in
Canadian ownership of our

mineral resources, you should.
_ ask s-your

. Member of
Parliament in Ottawa some
pertinent questions of the long

’ ferm effect “of new taxation

rules.
Canadian Prospectors’ are to
pay tax on 100 percent of their
gains from sale of their Mineral
Claims or mining ~ property.
Seculators dealing in shares are
to pay tax on only 50 percent of
their gains, even though the
shares might well be based on
the Prospectors property under

_ company ownership.

The Prospector might. well

History agrees that this would
be a normal situation. When the

property is sold,~he is not

representing his year's of work.
The Government of Canada will
argue that he can choose’ to
average his gains over several

years in the future by handing .

over his money to the Govern:
ment by purchase of what they
call an ‘Instant Annuity’. Well,
Canadian

for years usually working

-without adequate financing, he
. cannot use his gains to do ad-

ditional prospecting with tools.
