      History

      The Mineral Resources Group was created within the Ministry of Natural Resources on April 1, 1978, and replaced the former Division of Mines.

      The group oversaw the activities of the following branches: the Mineral Resources Branch (1978-1985), the Ontario Geological Survey (1978-1985) and the Mining Taxation and Ontario Mineral Exploration Program (OMEP) Office (1981-1985).

      In June 1985, the Mineral Resources Group was transferred from the Ministry of Natural Resources to the newly formed Ministry of Northern Affairs and Mines. However, in November of 1985, the Ministry of Northern Affairs and Mines was itself replaced with the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines. At that time, the Mineral Resources Group was replaced with the Mines and Minerals Division of the new ministry.
