Mineral claims are staked online by accessing the staking section of the Province’s Mineral Rights Administration System (MIRIAD). It is required that all persons or corporations who intend to stake claims be registered in MIRIAD (no cost to register). Any natural person 19 years of age or older, or a corporation, has the right to stake. One claim measures 500m x 500m or 25 ha (about 61 acres). A mineral claim grants the exclusive right to explore for all minerals. The cost to stake one claim is $60, of which $10 is a recording fee and $50 is a refundable security deposit. Payment must be made online by credit card. Further information is available from the Manager of Mineral Rights.
Mining is one of Newfoundland and Labrador's largest and oldest industries, and a major contributor to the economy of our province, especially in rural areas. A total of sixteen mineral commodities are produced or mined in the province. Six metal mines currently produce iron ore, nickel, copper, zinc, cobalt, antimony and gold. Other operations mine slate, limestone and barite, amongst other commodities. Our mining and mineral exploration companies directly provide high-paying jobs to more than 4000 men and women throughout the Province. Expenditures by these companies find their way into all corners of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Same as the $9 we pay in B.C. but they make us put up a security deposit later if we apply to do physical work like drilling. Same thing as Newfie basically. Their $50 is refundable the same as ours is when we drop the claims.
