I believe you may be mixing up flow through financing with a different flow through program. This is flow through "financing". Approved by our government likely via one of the exploration tax programs. Wellington West likely will sell all this financing. this financing is exclusive to Noront. It's done all the time, especially in mining and exploration.

The program you may be describing is often used by mutual funds companies to fund commissions to brokers and agents. Same terminolgy, completely different animal.
