Mineral Tenure Act, section 8

Fees: Individual $ 25.00
Individual - senior over 65 $  0.00

All clients must fully complete the appropriate application form in order to be issued their first FMC:

  1. Individual (MTL 101)

  2. Company (MTL 102)

  3. Partnership (MTL 131)

A FMC is issued for a 12-month term that begins with the day of issuance and ends on the day immediately preceding this issuance date next year.

Section 8(2) of the MTA stipulates that an individual applicant must either be a resident of Canada for a period not less than 183 days in each calendar year or be authorized to work in Canada.  A Canadian citizen, regardless of where he or she resides, is automatically authorized to work in Canada.  Due to the annual residency requirement, a FMC will not be issued for more than one 12-month period.

The annual fee for an individual is $25 (free if the applicant is aged 65 or over at the time of application) and covers the period from the commencement date to the expiry date of the FMC. This term cannot be greater than 12 months.
