Mineral Exploration Permit for Silver Lake Ontario Inc. - Strickland Township
Official title: Silver Lake Ontario Inc. - Mineral exploration permit
Silver Lake Ontario Inc. wants to drill for minerals near White River, Ontario. The company is seeking a permit to use heavy drilling equipment on three mining claims in Strickland Township. This would let them take rock samples to test for mineral content over the next three years.
Why This Matters
Live near White River or Strickland Township? This drilling could affect local forests and water sources. The company may pump water from nearby lakes or streams for their operations. If you hunt, fish, or use the land in this area, you might want to weigh in.
What Could Change
If approved, Silver Lake Ontario Inc. could conduct mechanized drilling on claims 531160, 531161, and 531178 for up to three years. They'd clear small areas for drill pads and potentially draw water from local sources. The permit could be renewed after that.
Key Issues
- Should the ministry issue a permit for mechanized drilling on these three claims?
- What environmental impacts should be considered before approval?
