Date Last Modified The Canada Mining Regulations (CMR) name was changed to Northwest Territories and Nunavut Mining Regulations in 2008. The regulations are currently in the process of modernization. The royalty sections of the NTNUMR were amended in 1999, but the remainder of the regulations were left as they were written in 1977. The metric system is being introduced in this round of amendments, thereby changing the fee schedule to reflect the amounts required by hectares instead of acres. The mining industry and other stakeholders were consulted by various methods of consultation and no complaints about the changes were submitted. One new fee is being added to discourage nuisance protests against a claim. Note 1: The fee or service triggers a series of activities related to land and resource management and the protection of the environment, all of which are controlled by the nature and scope of the resource development projects, e.g. mine development. Note 2: The Water Regulations under the Nunavut Waters and Nunavut Surface Rights Tribunal Act are currently in the process of being written. Industry and other stakeholders have not yet been extensively consulted. Changes to the fee structure are still under consideration. |
