Provincial governments are responsible for mining – the exploration for, and the development and extraction of, mineral resources, and the construction, management, reclamation, and close-out of mine sites – within their jurisdiction.
Comparable direct federal involvement in the regulation of mining operations is limited and specific in nature. It includes uranium in the context of the nuclear fuel cycle (i.e., from exploration through to its final disposal including both reactor and mine waste), mineral activities related federal Crown corporations, and mineral activities on federal lands and in offshore areas.
