The Board of Directors for the Association for Mineral Exploration British Columbia has raised concerns about critical delays in mineral exploration permitting at its last meeting in June.  In response, the Board approved a motion to create a special permitting committee to review the extensive delays being reported throughout the province.
 
The AME BC has created a survey to facilitate this review.  The PDAC supports these survey efforts and invites members to participate by providing examples of work delays. 
 
To access the survey on the AME BC website, please click here and scroll down to the section called Inside AME BC:  Mineral Exploration Permitting – Submit Your Example.
 
Submitted information will not be used as a direct example without approval.  Please indicate whether you want your information to remain confidential.  The Committee will conduct a focused review leading to direct discussions with government to develop both short-term and longer-term solutions to permit issuance.
 
Please send your completed survey form to:
