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 SIX of 11 comments that the CCFMS feels are critical to the Ontario Hobby Mineral Collecting Guide:

Page 4, Where hobby mineral collecting can and cannot be done
• The first sentence under each of these headings states that “hobby mineral collecting can only be done on lands where the mining rights are open for mining claim registration.”
• The foregoing statement appears to be inconsistent with the information in the two bullets at the top of page 6.

• Both bullets indicate that hobby mineral collecting CAN be done where the mining rights are held by third parties (i.e., are not open for mining claim registration because the mining rights have already been registered) if the holder(s) of the mining rights and the surface rights, where applicable, give their permission.

• The CCFMS asks that this inconsistency be resolved – perhaps by changing the words “open for mining claim registration” both here, and elsewhere in the draft Guide.
