Mineral Exploration Permit for Mayfair Gold Corp. - Beatty, Coulson, and Wilkie Townships
Official title: Mayfair Gold Corp. - Mineral exploration permit
Mayfair Gold Corp. wants permission to drill for minerals south of Matheson, Ontario. The company would use mechanized drills weighing over 150 kg to collect rock samples from underground. This involves clearing small areas for drill pads and potentially drawing water from nearby lakes or streams.
Why This Matters
Live near Matheson or in the Cochrane District? This drilling could affect local water sources and forest areas. If you hunt, fish, or use the land recreationally, the exploration activities might impact your access. Property owners near the 25 mining claims should pay attention.
What Could Change
If approved, Mayfair Gold Corp. could drill on 25 mining claims across three townships for up to 3 years. The permit can be renewed after that. The company must follow provincial standards to minimize environmental impacts, but some clearing and water use would be allowed.
Key Issues
- Should the exploration permit be issued for mechanized drilling on these 25 claims?
- What environmental concerns should be considered before approval?
- Are the proposed activities appropriate for this location near Matheson?
