"Lisa Hopkins of Val-des-Monts, Que., said property owners have discovered unknown prospectors drilling horizontally onto their land in their search for minerals.

'All my neighbours are affected by the mining claims and I may be too,' Hopkins said. 'North of here they came with bulldozers and dug up everything with no letters, warnings or anything.'"

You have no property rights below the surface and anyone can stake a claim on your property without compensation to you. They would probably use the same technique of coming in from an adjacent piece of land to mine the claim.
