Mineral Resources Branch Mineral Resources Act CHAPTER 18 OF THE ACTS OF 1990 amended 1992, c. 14, s. 61; 1992, c. 37, ss. 1, 2; 1994, c. 36; , c. 8, s. 20; 2001, c. 6, s. 118; 1999 (2nd Sess.), c. 12 Implementing the Strategy: 2 Good Governance: Modern Acts and policies, efficient government. Review and amendment of the Mineral Resources Act First step will be a scoping and process ‘road map’ exercise. Will be carried out in consultation with industry, non-government organizations, government and the public. Will be initiated in 2013 and will probably take several years to complete.

There’s no government service outlet that issues a social license to operate. There’s no easy, consistent, ‘check-box’ template that can be applied. It must be constantly earned and monitored. One is never entirely certain of when it’s earned but it’s easy to know when you’ve lost it.
