      Historique

      The Mineral Resources Branch was created within the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources in 1973 when the Ministry assumed responsibility for mining promotion from the Department of Mines and Northern Affairs.

      The Branch formed part of the Ministry's Division of Mines from 1973-1978 and its Mineral Resources Group from 1978-1985. The Branch was composed of the Metallic Minerals, Industrial Minerals, Mining Tax Assessment, Petroleum Resources (1973-1979) and Mineral Statistics Sections.

      The Mineral Resources Branch ceased to exist in 1985 when its responsibilities (for everything except aggregates) were assumed by the Mines and Minerals Division of the new Ministry of Northern Development and Mines. Aggregates were transferred to the Land Management Branch of the Ministry of Natural Resources.
