- Claimholders must carry out exploration/assessment in order to keep these claims active
- The majority of claims were staked in the 1980’s
- Claims can be kept active by completing work on one claim and applying credits to other claims
- Many of these claims have been given extensions by MNDM&F to perform work and to complete and file exploration reports.
Questions arising:
- How does the Mining Act support and promote exploration in Bedford?
- Why should you be concerned about exploration on mining claims in Bedford?
- Will the Ministry continue to grant extensions and relief from forfeiture?
