Mineral Drilling Permit for 1000334153 Ontario Inc. - Lake Jean Area Near Beardmore
Official title: 1000334153 Ontario Inc. - Mineral exploration permit
A company wants permission to drill for minerals about 20 kilometres southeast of Beardmore, Ontario. The drilling would test rock samples to find out what minerals are underground. This means clearing small areas for drill rigs and potentially using water from nearby lakes or streams.
Why This Matters
Live near Lake Jean or Beardmore? This drilling could affect local water sources and forest areas. If you use nearby lakes or streams, the company may pump water from them. Hunters, anglers, and outdoor enthusiasts in the area should know about potential disturbances.
What Could Change
If approved, the company gets a 3-year permit to drill on four mining claims. They'd clear small areas for drill pads and install steel casings in the ground. This could lead to a larger mining operation down the road if they find valuable minerals.
Key Issues
- Should the permit be issued for mechanized drilling on these four mining claims?
- What environmental concerns exist about water use and land clearing in this area?
