I located several mineral claims & hope to get something out of them.
All mineral claims were retired and assigned to the Province, including the primary contaminated areas.
The court may also review decisions of the mining registrars, such as where a mineral claim has been cancelled.
Existing oil, gas, and mineral claims could be worked indefinitely.
Assessment reports are the record of geological, geochemical, geophysical and other exploration work completed on mineral claims (exploration permits).
Under these purchases, the landowner preserved the right to use the surface land, but gave up mineral claims.
These buyers need to express only the intent to develop a mineral claim without any need to demonstrate commercial mining potential.
Perhaps he found his treasure on private lands and then bought the lands without informing the owners of their worth and then filed his mineral claim.
Upon further application, the mineral claim can be converted to a long term lease with significant proprietary surface rights which are critical to mine development.
