Collection search - NORTHERN ADMINISTRATION BRANCH - MINERAL CLAIMS [textual record]

THESE RECORDS CONTAIN SIGNED DOCUMENTS AND CORRESPONDENCE REGARDING THE FILING, RECORDING, TRANSFER, AND WORK PERFORMANCES OF INDIVIDUAL MINING CLAIMS BY LICENCED MINERS, PROSPECTORS, AND AGENTS OF MINING COMPANIES. THERE IS ALSO AN ELEVEN PART LEDGER RECORDS OF MINERAL CLAIMS AS WELL AS WORKING COPIES OF CANADA MINING REGULATIONS, BOTH OF WHICH RELATE TO THE ABOVE FILES. THESE RECORDS WERE TRANSFERRED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY, MINES AND RESOURCES IN 1966 FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF INDIAN AFFAIRS AND NORTHERN DEVELOPMENT WHEN THE JURISDICTION OVER MINERAL RIGHTS FOR THE NORTHWEST TERRITORIES AND THE ISLANDS OF HUDSON BAY WAS PLACED UNDER THE MINERAL RIGHTS DIVISION, RESOURCE MANAGEMENT BRANCH, EMR. BECAUSE THE FILES WERE CREATED BY THE NORTHERN ADMINISTRATION BRANCH AND NOT USED OR ALTERED BY EMR, THEY HAVE BEEN PLACED IN RG 85 WITH OTHER NORTHERN ADMINISTRATION BRANCH RECORDS.
