Mineral Exploration Guidelines for Saskatchewan Mineral Exploration 2016 Guidelines for Saskatchewan Saskatchewan Mineral Exploration and Government Advisory Committee 2016 Page 1 INTRODUCTION The Saskatchewan Mineral Exploration and Government Advisory Committee (SMEGAC) has developed the Mineral Exploration Guidelines for Saskatchewan to assist government and industry in the application and approval process for activities on land administered by the Ministry of Environment. The following guide provides information to assist in the planning, initiation and completion of a mineral exploration program in a fashion that will help minimize environmental impacts and meet relevant legislative requirements. SMEGAC consists of representatives from the Province of Saskatchewan, including the Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Economy and Ministry of Government Relations as well as Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and various mineral exploration companies active in the province. This guideline was circulated and reviewed by various provincial and federal government agencies and the mineral exploration industry during the course of its development. The Mineral Exploration Guidelines for Saskatchewan is a living document and will be revised to reflect improvements and changes to new field procedures or legislation requirements. SMEGAC will be the lead in gathering and evaluating revisions to this document. We encourage stakeholders to provide suggestions for improving these guidelines. Comments and suggestions may be addressed to any SMEGAC representative or to: Ministry of Environment ATTN: SMEGAC Representative #1-101 Railway Place Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan S9X 1X6 Phone (306)
