Notice of map designation
Planned work program
The applicant must submit a planned work program
within 15 days from the notice of map designation’s presentation.
The program must include the following information:
- the work objective and the exploration strategy;
- a description of the planned work and its location;
- a description of previous work carried out on the land concerned,
along with a map compiling all previous work;
- a description of the regional and local geological context (lithology,
structures, anomalies, alterations, mineral deposits), together
with a geological map;
- a description of the metallogenic model;
- a work schedule and detailed cost assessment.
An applicant failing to include in his
program all the required information or financial statements,
upon its presentation to the registrar’s office or a designated
regional office, may lead to its refusal without any further examination.
Program’s evaluation
The fact of submitting a program does not guarantee
that the authorization to carry out mining work will be issued or
that mining rights will be granted. The program will be analyzed
and evaluated by a committee made up of three Department’s
personnel members. The committee will then submit its recommendation
to the Associated Deputy Minister of Mines, who will make the final
decision.
The applicant must demonstrate to the committee
the relevance of the mining exploration work and the applicant’s
technical and financial ability to carry it out.
Granting of mining rights
The registrar will proceed to the registration
of the notice of map designation which will be presented with the
mining work program approuved by the Associated Deputy Minister
of Mines.
