Mineral Exploration Permit for Juno Corp - BMA 533 862 & 533 863 Near Thunder Bay
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 wires. Ontario's Ministry of Mines is deciding whether to issue a 3-year exploration permit.
Why This Matters
This is remote wilderness in northwestern Ontario. If you hunt, fish, or trap in this area, drilling activity could affect your access. Indigenous communities with traditional land use in the region may want to weigh in.
What Could Change
If approved, Juno Corp could drill and conduct geophysical surveys for up to 3 years. They'd clear small drill pads and cut brush lines, potentially drawing water from nearby lakes or streams. The permit could be renewed after that.
