Comment

Continuing with the commentary that the CCFMS concerns are included in this ERO 019-6692 submission.

Please note that Central Canadian Federation of Mineralogical Societies (CCFMS) is identified below.
The CCFMS is a public entity in Ontario; therefore, does NOT expect "personal" privacy.
The CCFMS is not ashamed to publicly acknowledge our commentary as well as our involvement.

This is comment EIGHT of 11 comments that the CCFMS feels are critical to the Ontario Hobby Mineral Collecting Guide:

Page 6 – Respecting landowners’ rights when hobby mineral collecting
• This section indicates that “hobby mineral collecting opportunities may exist on lands other than lands where the mining rights are open for mining claim registration.” It goes on to list several instances where third-party interests may exist.

• One thing that is missing in the draft Hobby Mineral Collecting Guide is an indication that where there are no landowners (i.e., both the mining rights and surface rights are vested in the Crown) no permissions are required for hobby mineral collecting.

• The CCFMS recommends the foregoing information be added somewhere in the Hobby Mineral Collecting Guide.
