The Ministry has decided to amend O. Reg. 45/11 to set out the conditions that are required for mining claimholders to sell the end product of a bulk sample and recover associated costs, without first obtaining the Minister’s permission: a “permit by rule” approach. This will allow previous amendments to the Mining Act to come into force. 

The Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry has decided to amend the Mining Act, and O. Reg 45/11 under the Act to establish a public registry for licences of occupation, so the public can easily access the ministry’s information. The registry will be accessible through the Mining Lands Administration System (MLAS).

We have updated the Ministry’s policies regarding circumstances in which the holders of mining claims can receive orders that will extend or exclude time related to their requirement to perform and report on assessment work under the Mining Act.
