The Ministry of Energy Mines and Natural Gas is currently completing a provincial review of existing mineral and coal land reserves to determine if more land can be made available for exploration
To date, 89% of existing mineral, placer, and coal land reserves have been reviewed
As a result: • More than 50,000 Ha of mineral, placer, and/or coal lands have been made available for exploration • A number of Conditional Reserves (700,000 Ha of land) have been removed

Reserves are established by a Regulation of the Chief Gold Commissioner (CGC) under Section 22 of the Mineral Tenure Act and/or Section 21 of the Coal Act. It is the legal instrument used to prohibit or restrict access to mineral, placer and coal lands.
“Mineral Lands”, are defined in Section 1 of the Mineral Tenure Act, (as not are) lands in which minerals and placer minerals, or the right to explore for, develop, and produce minerals or placer minerals, is vested in or reserved to the government. “Coal land”, as defined in Section 1 of the Coal Act, is land in which the coal of the right to explore for, develop and produce coal is vested in or reserved to the government.
