‘In light of a recent presenta-
tion by a local landowner on the
freedom of free miners to stake
claims at will, Kitimat-Stikine
Regional District administration
has filed a report with the board
that says Bill 66, the Mineral
Tenure Act, will require pros-
pectors to be “‘more respons-
ible’? than they are under ex-
isting legislation.

The report is based on a
public information meeting held
in Smithers last month by Denis
Lieutard, Deputy Director,
Mineral Titles Branch of the
B.C. Ministry of Energy, Mines
and Petroleum Resources.

The report states that Bill 66 is
a consolidation, with amend-
ments, of previous: legislation

that was passed March 11, 1988,
but still requires an Order-in-
Council to enact.

Of interest in the new legisla-
tion is Section 16, Right of Entry
on Private Land and Compensa-
tion: ‘‘The provincial legislation
which describes the rights of the
free miner has historically allow-

- ed considerable freedom to enter
or occupy private land. Bill 66
does not deviate from this tradi-
tion but places more onus on the
miner to be responsible.’”

Section 16 states that the free
miner is obligated to notify the

‘property owner prior to ‘“‘ex-
ploration, development or pro-
-duction of minerals. or. placer

’ minerals by a method which in-
volves surface disturbance by

“mechanical means’’ and that he
is liable to compensate the
owner for any loss or damage
caused by ‘‘entry, occupation or
use of that ‘area’. It also
outlines the mediation of any
disputes over damages or claims
through The Mediation and Ar-

: bitration Board.

Terrace prospector Harold
Smith agrees that Bill 66 is good
legislation but adds that even
without it; the majority of free
miners don’t, and never have,
