Exploration and Mining Guide
Introduction
The Exploration and Mining Guide was developed to help direct you
through Manitoba's permitting process more quickly and easily. It
outlines the permit and regulatory information necessary to move a
project from regional exploration to new mine development including:
- sections dedicated to each exploration stage, describing the
permits required, contact information and expected turnaround time
for each, as well as a reference list of applicable acts and
regulations
- information on the support services and technical material
available at Manitoba Industry, Economic Development and Mines
- the financial incentive programs Manitoba offers to encourage
exploration and new mine development
- application forms, specific reference material, and selected
agreements covered in the guide are included where available
- references to other provincial government departments/agencies
or acts/regulations with links to web sites and corresponding
documents where available.
The information presented in this guide falls under the jurisdiction
of three departments:
See Working toward the Same Goals for
more information on the role each department plays in helping you move
your exploration and mining project forward.
Any application listed in this guide can be filed directly with the
provincial department involved.
For Your Convenience
While the guide covers the general activities that take place at each
stage of exploration and new mine development, we know each project is
distinct. If you are looking for specific information, use the
Site Search engine
for quick referencing.
You will also find a list of acts and regulations relevant to the
subject matter presented in each section of the guide. The Exploration
and Mining Guide is designed to complement, but not replace the acts and
regulations that apply to exploration, development and mining. If there
is a conflict between the information presented in the guide and the
acts/regulations, the latter prevails.
