Mineral Exploration Permit for Eric Marion - Burt and Eby Townships
Official title: Eric Marion - Mineral exploration permit
Eric Marion wants a permit to drill for minerals near Kenogami Lake in northeastern Ontario. The drilling would test rock samples for mineral and metal content across 36 mining claims in Burt and Eby townships.
Why This Matters
Live near Kenogami Lake or in the Cochrane District? This drilling could affect local water sources and forest areas. Exploration permits are the first step toward potential mining operations.
What Could Change
If approved, the proponent could conduct mechanized drilling across 36 claims for up to three years. Drill pads would be cleared in the forest, and water may be pumped from nearby lakes or streams for drilling operations.
Key Issues
- Should the permit be issued for mechanized drilling in this area?
- What environmental protections should apply to water sources and forest clearing?
How to Participate
- Review the proposal details on this consultation page to understand the scope of drilling activities.
- Use the Mining Lands Administration System to view the specific claim locations on a map.
- Submit your comments by email to andrew.persad@ontario.ca by the deadline.
