The Nova Scotia Natural Resources Registry of Mineral and Petroleum Titles, managed by John MacNeil, oversees the administration of Crown mineral and onshore petroleum rights. The Registry handles applications for rights, issues licenses, maintains rights maps, and monitors exploration activities across the province. Recently, the Registry has modernized its systems to enhance application processing and service delivery. The NovaROC platform provides improved data analysis capabilities and allows for online management of rights. With over 880,000 acres licensed for mineral and over 2 million acres for petroleum exploration, this modernization project aims to streamline and digitize operations.
