Vancouver, B.C, – March 27, 2025 – Following the introduction of British Columbia’s Mineral Claims Consultation Framework (MCCF) this week, the Association for Mineral Exploration (AME) has sent an open letter to Premier Eby.
While the letter thanks the Government of British Columbia for meeting the March 26, 2025, deadline to implement the MCCF, it points out challenges in the development process and is clear about remaining issues. It calls for proper resourcing to process applications, and that the MCCF is fully operationalized and any issues addressed before the proposed modernization of the Mineral Tenure Act is started.
The letter also recommends effort is put into completing Notice of Work permits to free up investment and get people working.
