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 happen across 36 mining claims in Burt and Eby townships. This is early-stage exploration to test what's in the ground—not an actual mine yet.
Why This Matters
Live near Kenogami Lake or in the Cochrane District? Drilling means cleared areas for equipment and water pumped from nearby lakes or streams. If you hunt, fish, or use the land in this area, you might want to weigh in.
What Could Change
If approved, Eric Marion could drill across 36 claims for up to three years, with possible renewal. Drill pads would be cleared and steel casings installed. Water could be drawn from nearby lakes and streams for the operation.
Key Issues
- Should the exploration permit be issued for mechanized drilling on these 36 claims?
- What environmental impacts could result from clearing drill pads and pumping water?
