Roman,
Yes, if there is lots of material in Canadian institutions then it will be
much easier to get a permit. But, in the end, one will always be able to
sell a Canadian meteorite.

One definitely needs to apply for an export permit. If enough material
made it to Canadian
institutions for study or the national collection, then a permit should be
granted.
If not, then they can refuse the permit. My take on it.
Best regards,

Mike,
This meteorite will be protected by the Canadian Cultural and Heritage
act. This means that it would be illegal to export any fragments or
individuals without clearance from the Canadian government. To get
clearance you would need to apply to the government and then the
government would need to make a counter offer equal to the market value
of the meteorite. If they do not make an offer then they are obligated
to allow export. I am told this would take about 6-8 months but could be
a little longer.
It is legal to export Canadian meteorites but one must give the Canadian
government first right of refusal. At least, this is the way I
understand things.
Cheers,
Mike Tettenborn

What is the relationship of this verses the meteorite being Canadian
property? I really hope he is able to get some of it though if it can be
found.

Reward offered for meteorite find
Updated: Mon Nov. 24 2008 17:15:47
An Arizona meteorite hunter is offering a big reward for anyone who
finds a piece of the giant fireball that blazed across Alberta last
week.
The incredible object from space lit up the night sky on Thursday and
was the talk of Western Canadians and space enthusiasts around the
world.
Some experts believe the meteor fell east of Wainwright just across the
border with Saskatchewan.
Scientists and treasure hunters from across the province, including
Calgary, are scouring that area trying to find the debris trail.
Robert Haag, who runs a meteorite website in the U-S, says he'll pay 10
thousand dollars to the first person to find a piece.
Meteorite hunting can be a lucrative trade. Haag estimates there could
be as much as one million dollars worth of meteorites on the ground from
this single meteor. A basketball-sized piece could sell for up to 50
thousand dollars.
