Guidelines for Mineral Exploration in Manitoba

MAMI is currently redeveloping the Guidelines for Mineral Exploration in Manitoba into an online digital resource with new and updated information.

All phases in mining development must be consistent with practices that protect the environment and mitigate negative effects as much as possible. The mineral exploration guidelines for Manitoba are designed to direct all phases in mineral exploration in Manitoba towards best practices. This resource is intended to assist government, Aboriginal communities and industry in the phases of exploration including application and approval processes in a single succinct document that addresses all areas of importance.

To receive notice when the updated Guidelines will be available:
