Mineral Exploration Permit for Juno Corp - BMA 533 862 & 533 861 Claims
Official title: Juno Corp - Mineral exploration permit
Juno Corp wants to drill and survey for minerals about 520 km northwest of Thunder Bay. The company would clear small areas for drill rigs and cut lines through brush to lay survey equipment. If approved, the permit lasts up to 3 years.
Why This Matters
This is a remote area, but early exploration can be the first step toward a mine. If you hunt, fish, or trap in this region, drilling activity could affect your access. Indigenous communities with traditional land use in the area may want to weigh in.
What Could Change
If approved, Juno Corp could drill and conduct geophysical surveys on over 300 mining claims for up to 3 years. They'd need to follow provincial standards to minimize environmental impacts, but some clearing of vegetation and water use would be allowed.
