In most jurisdictions, the mining regulations are a prerogative of the provincial government. In simpler terms, these are the rules in place for companies to perform mining in different areas. The federal government may, in part, or whole involve itself in developing these rules.
Mining laws are not only for private companies but also applicable for government operations, and the rules are a standard for all to follow when it comes to the mining operations. Every jurisdiction has the authority to audit and check any mining operations and mineral exploration activities. Mining operations that are complex such as extraction of uranium from mine waste have strict mining rules and allows limited access to few in the private sector. Anyone who requires more information can find out more by going to the provincial run websites and learn about the rules and scope of mining exploration.
