Getting permission FROM WHO? when I want to collect minerals or fossils.

I understand that if land is privately owned, then permission is needed for the property owner

But there is a lot of (what's called) public lands and/or crown lands and/or abandoned mines/quarries in Ontario?
Who are we supposed to ask?
The Ontario government? Which department/ministry?
King Charles the III?

Added to this what about property that is owned - but someone has some sort of mineral claim?
Are they considered a "property owner"?
