Units of assessment work
 4. (1) Subject to section 3, the following amount of money is the amount of money that is required to be spent on assessment work on a mining claim each year under section 65 of the Act in order to satisfy the annual units of assessment work: 1. For cell claims, whether single cell claims or multi-cell claims, $400.00 for each cell included in the claim, subject to paragraphs 3 and 4. 2. For boundary claims, $200.00. 3. For a cell that is in a cell claim that resulted from the conversion of a legacy claim under section 38.2 of the Act and that includes land that does not form part of the claim for one of the reasons set out in subsection (2), $200.00. 4. For a cell that meets both of the following requirements, $200.00: i. The cell formerly met the requirements of paragraph 3 but the cell claim referred to in paragraph 3 was subsequently amalgamated into a multi-cell claim with one or more other cell claims. ii. The cell includes land that does not form part of the claim for one of the reasons set out in subsection (2). (2) For the purposes of paragraphs 3 and 4 of subsection (1), the reasons for which land located in a cell may not form part of a cell claim include the following: 1. The land is part of an Indian reserve. 2. The land is part of a provincial park or a conservation reserve. 3. The land is subject to a mining lease, other than a lease for surface rights only. 4. The land is subject to a freehold patent, other than a freehold patent for surface rights only. 5. The land is subject to a licence of occupation issued under the Act or a predecessor of the Act. 6. The land is designated as a protected area in a community based land use plan under the Far North Act, 2010. 7. The land is withdrawn under the Act from prospecting, registration of mining claims, sale or lease for one of the following reasons: i. the land is included in a proposed Aboriginal land claim settlement. ii. the land is intended to be added to an Indian reserve. iii. the land is part of a provincial park, conservation reserve or forest reserve created under Ontario’s Living Legacy Land Use Strategy. iv. the land meets the criteria for a site of Aboriginal cultural significance under clause 35 (2) (a) of the Act. v. the land has been designated as an area of provisional protection under section 13 of the Far North Act, 2010. (3) The annual units of assessment work required for a mining claim shall increase from the amount required under paragraph 2, 3 or 4 of subsection (1) to the amount required under paragraph 1 of that subsection if a change occurs to the mining claim and as a result, (a) in the case of a boundary claim referred to in paragraph 2 of subsection (1), the boundary claim becomes a cell claim under section 38.3 of the Act; or (b) in the case of a cell referred to in paragraph 3 or 4 of subsection (1), land that did not form part of a cell at the conversion date becomes part of the cell so that the cell claim no longer meets the requirements of subsection (2). (4) The increase in the units of assessment work required for a mining claim described in subsection (3) shall not apply with respect to the cell claim until after the due date of the cell claim that follows the occurrence of the change to the mining claim referred to in subsection (3).
