I would like to start prospecting for minerals in Canada. Do I need a prospectors licence and how do I go about staking claims for the mineral rights?
Before exploring for minerals in Canada, you must verify requirements with the province or territory in which you plan to conduct your prospecting activities. In most jurisdictions a licence is required and claims must be recorded to register ownership. A detailed explanation of mineral tenure rules for exploration and development is available on our web site at www.nrcan.gc.ca/miningtax/inv_6.htm. Links to all the provincial and territorial departments responsible for mining are provided at www.nrcan.gc.ca/mms/lien/ptd_e.htm.
