The BC Mine Information website profiles metal and coal mines across the province. Authorizations issued under the Mines Act, Environmental Assessment Act and Environmental Management Act, inspection records, and recent annual reclamation and annual dam safety inspection reports are available for these mines.
The site also contains information regarding Ministry enforcement decisions. More mines and related documents will be added to on an ongoing basis.
The Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation, the Environmental Assessment Office and the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change collaborated to develop the BC Mine Information website and make information on the Province's oversight of mines in B.C. more accessible.
Requests for specific documents not available online can be directed to Information Access Operations under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
