The East Kootenay Chamber of Mines will be hosting an important meeting with Rick Conte of Mineral Titles Online on Wednesday, May 7, 2008, 7:00 PM at the Prestige Resort in Cranbrook, regarding claim registration fees, claim exploration levels, work reporting levels, use of cash payment, and other related issues.

We believe that it is imperative that chamber members and all mining stakeholders provide input into any potential changes to the current fee structures and work requirements.

Mr. Conte has provided us questionnaires and background information for anyone who wishes to provide feedback on any proposed changes to the mineral tenure system in British Columbia.

You can review and complete the forms with your suggestions by clicking HERE. You will need Adobe Acrobat Viewer to open the documents.

We look forward to seeing you at the meeting!

A portion of the collection of duplicate mineral assessment reports up to 2005, which has been housed and maintained by the MEMPR in the Cranbrook Regional Office, has been loaned to the EKCM for our ongoing use. This part of the collection represents all reports in the collection covering exploration in the East Kootenay portion (Fort Steele & Golden Mining Divisions). The Chamber of Mines of Eastern BC (http://www.cmebc.com/) has all the rest of the reports for the Kootenay Boundary region on loan. These reports are already available electronically as the Government has scanned the assessment reports and put them on the internet. But as you may notice some of the maps etc. are easier to decipher in paper form. While The EKCM must maintain the safe keeping and integrity of these transferred records we will make them available for public viewing. If you would like to look at any of these paper copies, you must make an appointment as we are staffed only by volunteers. While we believe we have most of the assessment reports for our region, there may be a few missing so if you are traveling here to look at a report/map, you want to send us an email with the report numbers so we can verify we have it.

Thank you to the Cranbrook Regional MEMPR Office staff for their help in keeping these valuable paper records available to us right here in the Kootenays.

Welcome to our new website!

The East Kootenay Chamber of Mines is pleased to present it's brand new website.


Our previous website has unfortunately gone the way of the dinosaurs. It has been over 4 years since we last updated the core of the website and it was becoming increasingly unstable and vulnerable to security problems.

However, we are very excited about the possibilities that exist with the new website. You will notice that we have implemented a brand new photo gallery, and users will be able to view live metal prices from the front page. The new format will also allow us to provide information to you in a more timely fashion. We are also looking forward to rolling out many other exclusive features that our members will see in the near future, so stay tuned!

For those of you wondering about the information from the old site, we will be migrating some of the information stored in the old website. However, as this is a time-consuming act, we will be focusing more of our attention on providing our members with relevant and current information.

We look forward to your feedback on how to make the website more functional and user friendly.

If you would like to provide any feedback or ideas, please submit them to us HERE.
