Books in Review Canadian Institute of Resources Law

The Reference Guide to Mining Legislation in Canada is a revised and updated version of a publication that the Canadian Institute of Resources Law first produced in 1985. That publication had its origins in contract research work on mining legislation, and was hoped to be a useful source of information and reference for those who are involved in mining matters.

The publication consists of a series of tables that provide a reference guide to the mining legislation of each province and territory in Canada. It provides a general overview in summary form of how different subjects are treated in each jurisdiction. It is confined to Crown-owned hard-rock minerals; it therefor excludes privately-owned minerals, any separate legislation for placer mining (i.e., mining in alluvial deposits), quarriable industrial minerals, coal, petroleum and natural gas.
