The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) made changes to aggregate fees and royalties. Changes include:
- Increases to aggregate fees for licences, aggregate permits and wayside permits (started on 2018 production)
- Adjustments to annual fees so that operations on Crown land will pay the same fees as those on private land (started on 2018 production)
- Indexation of annual fees and royalties (starting with 2019 production)
In addition, royalty will now be charged on aggregate sites subject to mining leases. Some sites may be eligible for reduced royalty rates during the phase-in period set in regulation.
