Mineral Exploration Permit for Juno Corp - Thunder Bay District Claims
Official title: Juno Corp - Mineral exploration permit
Juno Corp wants to drill and survey for minerals on hundreds of mining claims northwest of Thunder Bay. The permit would allow mechanized drilling and geophysical surveys for up to 3 years. This is early-stage exploration to test what's underground.
Why This Matters
Live near this remote area northwest of Thunder Bay? Exploration means drill rigs, helicopters, and crews in the bush. It's early-stage work, but it could lead to a mine down the road. Indigenous communities and trappers in the area may want to weigh in.
What Could Change
If approved, Juno Corp could drill test holes and clear small areas for equipment across these claims for up to 3 years. They'd need to follow provincial standards to minimize environmental impacts. The permit can be renewed after that.
Key Issues
