Payment of annual rental on a lease (BC)

A lease is maintained by payment of the annual rental of $20 per hectare for a mining lease or $20 per hectare for a surveyed placer lease. The recorded holder or authorized agent registers the payment online. If this is not done on or before the due anniversary date, Mineral Titles staff will send a notice requiring payment within 30 days. If not paid, the Chief Gold Commissioner may order the forfeiture of the lease.

During the last year of the current lease term, the term extension must be registered prior to registering the annual rental.
