Brine-hosted minerals development : implementation of the Mineral Resource Development Act

Description

Mineral exploration and development is changing rapidly, driven by innovative technologies and shifting societal demands. Brine-hosted minerals, such as lithium, are extracted from deep saline groundwater, also known as brine. This fact sheet explains regulations that have been developed to establish tenure for new and emerging technologies to develop brine-hosted minerals, to update requirements for rock-hosted mineral tenure, and to enable the Alberta Energy Regulator to become the full lifecycle regulator for the province's brine-hosted mineral resources.
