The Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources is responsible for administering and regulating the acquisition and maintenance of mineral, placer and coal rights in British Columbia.
The Ministry is pursuing amendments to the Mineral Tenure Act Regulation (MTA Regulation). These amendments are in follow-up to consultations held in 2008 regarding a review of the mineral title acquisition and maintenance process. As a result of this review, a new fee structure and revised annual exploration work requirements are being proposed to ensure effective exploration and development of the province’s mineral resources.
The Ministry invites representatives from the Association for Mineral Exploration British Columbia (AMEBC) to an information session on proposed changes to the MTA Regulation.
