A portion of the collection of duplicate mineral assessment reports up to 2005, which has been housed and maintained by the MEMPR in the Cranbrook Regional Office, has been loaned to the EKCM for our ongoing use. This part of the collection represents all reports in the collection covering exploration in the East Kootenay portion(Fort Steele Golden Mining Divisions). The Chamber of Mines of Eastern BC (http://www.cmebc.com/) has all the rest of the reports for the Kootenay Boundary region on loan. These reports are already available electronically as the Government has scanned the assessment reports and put them on the Internet. But as you may notice some of the maps etc. are easier to decipher in paper form. While the EKCM must maintain the safe keeping and integrity of these transferred records we will make them available for public viewing. If you would like to look at any of these paper copies, you must make an appointment as we are staffed only by volunteers. While we believe we have most of the assessment reports for our region, there may be a few missing so if you are traveling here to look at a report/map, you want to send us an email with the report numbers so we can verify we have it. Thank you to the Cranbrook Regional MEMPR Office Staff for their help in keeping these valuable paper records available to us right here in the Kootenays.
