Mineral Exploration Permit for Juno Corp - BMA 533 862 & 533 863 Claims
Official title: Juno Corp - Mineral exploration permit
Juno Corp wants to drill and survey for minerals about 520 km northwest of Thunder Bay. The company would clear small areas for drill rigs and cut lines through brush to lay survey equipment. This is early-stage exploration—no mine yet, just testing what's underground.
Why This Matters
Live in the Thunder Bay District? This exploration could eventually lead to mining jobs in the region. If you hunt, fish, or trap in this remote area, the drilling and survey work might temporarily affect access or wildlife patterns.
What Could Change
If approved, Juno Corp could drill and survey across hundreds of mining claims for up to 3 years. They'd clear small 'drill pads' and cut brush lines for equipment. The permit can be renewed after that.
Key Issues
