Appellants (amended, February 15th, 2005)
Peter Waddington Griesbach
An appeal pursuant to subsection 112(1) of the Mining Act from the decision of the Provincial Mining Recorder, dated the 5th day of May, 2004, for a declaration that all or part(s) of Lot 13, Concession V, the Geographic Township of Bedford, (now the Township of South Frontenac), is exempt from prospecting or staking.
Whereas this appeal was received by this tribunal on the 3rd day of June, 2004;
And whereas a consent to grant this appeal without costs and with conditions, dated the 9th day of November, 2004, was filed by Jo-Anne Collins on behalf of and signed by each of the three initial appellants, Kevin Collins, Jo-Anne Collins and Karen Murphy;
And whereas a consent to grant this appeal without costs and with conditions, dated the 15th day of November, 2004, was filed by Peter Waddington Griesbach, respondent;
And whereas in drafting a legal description of the lands to be excluded from the Mining Claim from documentation filed, the tribunal determined that it had not properly named the owners of the properties involved and did not have the corresponding consent of those owners, whereupon it wrote to the appellants seeking clarification;
And whereas on the 31st day of January, 2005, the tribunal received an agency authorization appointing Alexander Fowler Cameron from joint tenant, Elizabeth Cameron, of Parts 1, 3 and 4, Plan 13R-1503, Part Lot 13, Con V, Township of Bedford along with a copy of the Transfer/Deed of land for the aforementioned property;
And whereas on the 14th day of February, 2005, the tribunal received an agency authorization appointing Jo-Anne Collins from co-owners and tenants in common, Karen Murphy and Julie Halle, and a further agency authorization from Cecilia Cowdy, owner of a life interest in Parcels I and II on Plan 13R-1503, Con V, Township of Bedford;
And whereas the tribunal has determined, notwithstanding its draft consent to the parties, that Part 2 on Plan 13R-1503 is, in fact, located within the boundaries of Lot 14, Con V, thereby being outside of the area of the Mining Claim resulting in its area not being included in this Order and calculations pertaining to the Mining Claim;
And whereas the amount of assessment work required on mining claims pursuant to section 2 of Ontario Regulation 6/96 is calculated in $400 increments, based upon the number of 16 hectare units in the mining claim;
And whereas in attempting to calculate the size of the lands to be excluded from the Mining Claim for purposes of assessment work, the tribunal has found that the actual area of the Mining Claim is 91 hectares;
And whereas the respondent, Mr. Griesbach, has calculated the excluded area to be 57.327 acres, which erroneously included Part 2 on Plan 13R-1503, whose area is shown by Mr. Griesbach to be 3.46 acres, resulting in a total area of 53.887 acres or 21.808 hectares (1 acre = .4047 hectares);
And whereas the tribunal has measured the area as 22.086 hectares, but has further determined that the ratio of excluded to total area should be rounded to a manageable number for administrative purposes;
And whereas Mr. Griesbach's amended figure renders a ratio of 23.96% and the tribunal's figure renders a ratio of 24.27% And Further, based upon the abstract the size of the Mining Claim has been recorded as four units whose unreduced annual assessment work requirement would be $1,600;
This tribunal orders that this appeal be and is hereby granted on the following conditions and in accordance with the sketch attached hereto and marked as Schedule "A":
