Mineral Exploration Permit for Insight Exploration - Burt Township Claims
Official title: Insight Exploration Inc. - Mineral exploration permit
Insight Exploration Inc. wants to drill for minerals on 49 mining claims near Kenogami Lake in northern Ontario. The company would use mechanized drills weighing over 150 kg to collect rock samples. This involves clearing small areas for drill pads and potentially drawing water from nearby lakes or streams.
Why This Matters
Live near Kenogami Lake or Burt Township? This drilling could affect local water sources and forest areas. If you hunt, fish, or have a cottage in the area, you might want to weigh in. The permit would last up to 3 years.
What Could Change
If approved, Insight Exploration could drill on 49 claims and 9 leases in Burt Township. They'd clear small areas for drill pads and may pump water from local lakes and streams. The permit lasts up to 3 years with possible renewal.
