The spatial representation of the 5 Mining Regions for the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation (EMLI). These administrative boundaries are derived from the 8 __[Natural Resource (NR) Regions](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/dfc492c0-69c5-4c20-a6de-2c9bc999301f)__ (https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/dfc492c0-69c5-4c20-a6de-2c9bc999301f).

Regions showing the extent of Mining Licences currently lodged with Earth Resources Regulations. The boundaries are derived from a combination of entering graticular boundaries (exact AMG co-ordinates) and digitizing along areas of land status (Earth Resources version of landmmt100) which are unable to be mined or explored. Refer to the Mineral Resources (Sustainable Development) Act (MRSDA) 1990 for more detail. (MIN is included in ML) NOTE: For GeoVic, "Operating Gold Mines" are a subset of this dataset where during the current financial year the tenement recorded production in excess of 100 kg Au, and/or are currently at an advanced stage of resource development with a target production rate of at least 100kg Au per year.

The dataset represents applications for a mining permit. This point dataset is for "regional mines”. Notice of Work (NoW) is the name of the application. Mining activities with disturbance to the ground need approval. Section 10 of the Mines Act issues the authorization or permit. **NOTE**: Administrative amendments to a NoW are not captured in this dataset. We are currently working to include this addition for a more complete view of the data. For proponents, please log into https://minespace.gov.bc.ca/ to confirm any authorizations on your permits. Polygon representation of this dataset can be found here: https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/c728435d-410e-42f9-81d5-95978c90e44a Point locations within this dataset may be: - Approved and permitted NoW applications The application status field identifies the status of the application. Examples include approved, withdrawn, or rejected, to name a few. Clients submit location information with their application. During review and consultation phases of the application, the permitting inspector may adjust the proposed location. Otherwise, this dataset displays the information submitted by the client. Regional mines include: - Exploration — mineral, coal, rock quarry, industrial mineral or dimension stone - Sand and gravel — aggregate, rock or natural substances used for construction purposes - Placer Part 9.1.1 and 10.1.1 of the Health, Safety and Reclamation Code for Mines in British Columbia describe the requirements. Clients submit location information with their application. This dataset displays the information submitted by the client. Notice of work categories include type and application status: Type - Coal - Mineral - Placer Operations - Quarry – Construction Aggregate - Quarry – Industrial Mineral - Sand and Gravel Application Status - Approved - Client Delayed - Permit Closed - Pending Approval - Government Action Required - Referred - Rejected - Received - Rejected-Initial - No Permit Required - Referral Complete - Withdrawn For the public view, please be aware that the ministry has removed: - All points with now application status of pending verification. - The attributes of all non-open permits - All non-gold and non-jade/nephrite mine commodities

URL: https://geoscience.data.qld.gov.au/dataset/cr120222 Prior to the granting of EPM18548 to Byerwen Coal, no previous metals exploration activity had been undertaken within the permit area. EPM18548 is considered prospective for a variety of mineralisation styles. Work in the current reporting period included further geological review of EPM18548 incorporating the information from the 2017-18 sampling work. As a result of the review a total of 14 subblocks were identified as having limited prospectivity and relinquished, effective 10 April 2019.
