The B.C. government has opted to extend a moratorium on new mineral claims across large areas of the north of the province amid ongoing land-use discussions and negotiations with First Nations.

The temporary suspension applies to new mineral and placer claims across northwestern and north-central B.C. stretching from the interior toward the Alaska border, and will stay in effect until Jan. 31 of next year instead of expiring on June 3 as previously planned.
