Northern Prospectors Association
Contact: Mike Leahy
E-Mail: ravenr@nt.net
NPA is an association of various members of the mining exploration community. Most members are prospectors and geologists who work in the Kirkland Lake area. Members receive a monthly newsletter published in association with the Ontario Prospectors Association. Topics covered in the "Explorationist " include the environment, computers, land use issues, mining law and political commentary.
The executive and other volunteers participate in a variety of activities including membership on several local and provincial committees. Guest speakers and short courses on topics such as geophysics, geology and gun safety help keep members up to date with rapidly changing technology and legislation. Community involvement is also important to the NPA. Tourists and locals alike enjoy the NPA gold panning events. The relationships between the history and geology of the town are related in a walking tour brochure produced by the association.
Through a wide network of affiliated organizations, the NPA has been a strong voice for the industry and the community in both Ottawa and Toronto. The motto "Dedicated to Canadian Prospecting and Mining" illustrates the organization's goal of enhancing the economic viability and the quality of life we enjoy in northern Ontario.

The OPA is the parent group for all the regional associations in Ontario Canada.
Objectives: The objectives of the Ontario Prospectors Association are to represent and further the interests of the mineral exploration industry and the individual prospector.
History: The association started life in the late 1980's as the Ontario Mineral Exploration Federation (OMEF), a group formed to help provide industry input into the drafting of the new Mining Act for Ontario. In December, 1994, the name was changed to the Ontario Prospectors Association to more clearly convey who the group represented, and its close relationship to the regional Ontario prospecting groups.
Publications: The official voice of the OPA is The Explorationist, a newsletter which is published 10 times a year and distributed to the members of several of the associated member groups of the OPA.
