Mar 07, 2010BC Reopens Submissions for Geothermal Tenure Requests
For Immediate Release
Calgary, AB – March 7, 2010 – British Columbia’s Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources recently announced they will once again be accepting submissions for Geothermal Tenure requests. Previously the Ministry had been closed to such requests and had not issued a tenure permit since 2004.
This move signals a renewed committment to advancing the development of BC’s geothermal resources. Working with CanGEA and industry, the Ministry is striving to revise current legislation and streamline the geothermal tenure process. These actions should have a noticeable impact on the availability of land and the timely issuance of permits for the Province’s high quality geothermal resources.
Proponents are invited to submit their requests to the Ministry prior to April 1, 2010.
Together, CanGEA and its members can impart far more change than any single company. Join CanGEA and help us put Canada’s geothermal resources to work!
