Saskatchewan Critical Mineral Innovation Incentive
Provincial royalty credit for innovative projects in Saskatchewan's critical mineral sector (helium, lithium, uranium, potash).
About this program
The Saskatchewan Critical Mineral Innovation Incentive provides royalty/tax credits on eligible commercial-scale innovation projects in critical minerals — including helium, lithium, uranium, potash, rare earths, and other strategic minerals important to Saskatchewan's resource economy. Modeled on the SPII, the program supports first commercial application of new technologies that advance critical mineral exploration, extraction, processing, or value-added production. Saskatchewan is a major global producer of potash, uranium, and helium, and the program aims to reinforce the province's leadership in these sectors.
