Mineral Exploration Permit for 10148942 Manitoba LTD. - Buchan Bay Area Claims
Official title: 10148942 Manitoba LTD. - Mineral exploration permit
A Manitoba company wants to drill for minerals on 95 mining claims southwest of Dryden, Ontario. The drilling would test rock samples to find out what minerals are underground. This is early-stage exploration, not an active mine.
Why This Matters
Live near Buchan Bay or use the area for recreation? Drilling rigs and cleared pads could change the landscape. If you rely on nearby lakes or streams, water pumping for drilling operations might be a concern.
What Could Change
If approved, the company could drill on 95 claims for up to 3 years. They'd clear small areas for drill pads and potentially pump water from nearby lakes or streams. The permit can be renewed after that.
Key Issues
- Should the exploration permit be issued for mechanized drilling on these 95 claims?
- What environmental conditions should apply to protect water sources and terrain?
