Mineral exploration: check the land and submit a map designation through GESTIM
Create a member account, check rights and constraints, select the parcel, pay and track registration and post-issuance duties.
An exploration right does not automatically grant land access or authorization for impact-causing work. Check owners, municipalities, Indigenous communities and separate permits.
Confirm the scope
Review the registry, active and pending rights, withdrawals, reserves, incompatible land uses, urban constraints and private rights.
Prepare the information
Create the ministry identity and GESTIM member profile; verify balance, delegations and the holder’s legal information.
Complete the process
Prepare the map view, select eligible land, recheck coordinates and overlaps, then submit and pay.
Keep follow-up records
Keep the request and decision, notify the municipality when required and plan access, work, reports, renewal and impact authorization.
