Mineral Exploration Permit for Ashley Gold Corp - MacFie Township Near Dryden
Official title: Ashley Gold Corp - Mineral exploration permit
Ashley Gold Corp wants a permit to explore for minerals about 35 km east of Dryden, Ontario. They'd cut lines through the forest, drill into rock, and run geophysical surveys. The permit would last up to 3 years.
Why This Matters
Live near MacFie Township? This could mean drilling rigs and cleared paths in the forest. The company may pump water from nearby lakes or streams. If you hunt, fish, or use trails in this area, you might want to weigh in.
What Could Change
If approved, Ashley Gold Corp could clear corridors wider than 1.5 metres, drill with heavy equipment, and run generator-powered surveys across 22 mining claims. They'd need to follow provincial standards to minimize environmental impacts.
Key Issues
- Should the permit be issued for line cutting, drilling, and geophysical surveys in this area?
