The proposal was: ‘made by the Mining Association af British Columbia in a submission toLeo Niinsick, Minister of Mines. The Association has contended that the government's proposed “super royally" of 50 per cent would end exploration for new ore bodies, reduce the“ life. expectancy. of ‘existing mines, creale unemployment in mining and {n industries which support mining,: and threaten’ the future of many British, Columbia communities’ which depend on mining for their existence. : Mines Minister Nimsick had asked the Association for a proposal to counter the royally proposed in Bill 31,-the Mineral Royalties ; Act. In a letter attached to the Industry proposal, Association president W, J; Tough said the Assoicalion, mining companies, | independent economists, investment houses and Internationally- recognized mining men ‘have all sald that Ine methou ot’deter- mining royalties as set out in BIE 31 will seriously reduce mineable, ore reserves in British Columbia and force mines to highgrade their. operations. “Further,” ‘Tough said, “the proposed Jevel of royalties does not .' recognize lhe serious inflationary’ effects on capital and operaling : ‘costs in determining the economic viability of new mines.”* ‘Tough noted thal, in equesting a proposal from the industry, “The government. has’ advised that they: would. not consider any royalty proposal which did not include an “‘off the top"’ element and which did not provide an increasing royalty with increasing prices. | ' > "While the Association Disagrees with this concept, the proposal "submitted will minimize the damaging effect of this type of royalty * ‘ by providing a low level of royalty when prices are low and a an in- © cteasl ing] level of royalty when prices are high”, -Tough said. ~ Royalties “Off the Top” The industry proposed that the basic value he thé ‘net smelter’ . return of the producer averaged for the two fiscal years prior to the taxation year. The lax base would be" the net dinelier return of : - ‘season: Thal is: about:.60 bucks. They couldn't ‘sta “home for much less. © the produger for the current year. - On that portion of the tax base that is up to 0° par cent of basic - value, the royally would be twoper cent, the industry: proposed. - In excess of 50 per cent, but not over 75 percent of basic value, the rate would be three per cent; over 75 per cent bul not over 100 percent the rate would be four per cent; over 100 but not over 120 per'cent, the rate would be five per cent: over 120 but nol over 150 - therate would be744 per cent; and over, 150 per. cent’ of basic value, ; the royalty would be 10 per ‘cent, Tough said that because basic value is defined as net smelter . 5 returns averaged for two years, there would be na royalties on the : first two years of production of a new mine, . , This would allow new mines to pay hack some. of the enormous capital investment needed to find and bring new ore bodies inte production. : The industry also propesed that: minerals, being processed domestically be liable for royalties at half the proposed rates.” ‘Tough said the government's proposed royalty would praduce' tax -rales on some mines of up. to 100 per cent or more and make it impossible for them to operate. The. industry. proposal would take advantage of the cyclical nature of metal prices; it would provide the’ government with a royalty, return when prices are high-and reduce the amount of royalty when prices are low, thus allowing raines to operale in 1 good times and bad. Tough said the indsuitry has not yet calculated what’ ithe industry ~ proposal would return the government in terms: of- dollars. However, he said it would be less than the $130 million or more that _the government's ' proposed | super: royalty would ‘take from’ ‘the industry. a at current metal: : prices.” : : . vy. . “ter, ‘are: ‘taking. adiantags: o a France Air. fare i is only" $209.” each, ‘returm,-And do’ you: “know.
