For purposes of this Census, a mineral establishment is defined as a single physical location where mineral operations are conducted, e.g., a mine, group of oil or gas wells, or preparation plant, or natural gas liquids plant.

An oil or gas field mineral establishment covers all oil and gas field activities in one Province operated by the reporting company. Offshore exploration, drilling, and production operations adjacent to each Province should be treated as a separate establishment. An offshore well is one which is bottomed at, or producing from, a point which lies seaward from the coastline.

Each establishment which performed mineral contract work for other concerns during any part of 1975 is required to submit a separate report for each Province in which such mineral contract work was done.

In completing this report, a limited amount of prorating or estimating is acceptable if book records are not readily available. Include all the activities conducted by the establishment.

Each report should cover the calendar year 1975. However, a report is required even if the establishment operated only part of the year. If your book records are not on a calendar year basis, carefully prepared estimates will be acceptable. If reporting on a calendar year basis will require considerable additional costs, and your fiscal year covers at least 9 months of the calendar year 1975 (i.e., ends between September 30, 1975 and March 31, 1976) you may report on a fiscal year basis. However, all employment, payroll, and manday figures should relate to the calendar year rather than the fiscal year.

In the certification, enter the exact dates of the period covered by the report. If the ownership changed during the year, complete the report only for that part of 1975 which your company owned and operated the establishment. Report in item 5 the appropriate information on changes in ownership or operations.
