“We are thrilled to receive this non-dilutive funding from the Ontario government,” said Paul Gorman, CEO of Pan American. “OJEP is a highly competitive program and accessing up to $200,000 will allow us to offset the costs associated with our completed geomicrobiology work with the University of Regina and to partially fund future exploration activities on the Project.”
