Official title: INTERNATIONAL EXPLORERS & PROSPECTORS INC. - Mineral exploration permit
A mining company wants permission to drill for minerals southeast of Iroquois Falls, Ontario. The permit would allow mechanized drilling on 49 mining claims in Mistaken Islands Area township. This means clearing small areas for drill rigs and potentially drawing water from nearby lakes or streams.
Why This Matters

What Could Change
