Mineral Exploration Permit for Juno Corp - Thunder Bay District Claims
Official title: Juno Corp - Mineral exploration permit
Juno Corp wants to drill and survey for minerals on hundreds of mining claims northwest of Thunder Bay. The Ministry is deciding whether to issue an exploration permit that would allow mechanized drilling and geophysical surveys for up to three years.
Why This Matters
This is a remote area about 520 km northwest of Thunder Bay. If you hunt, fish, or trap in this region, exploration activities could temporarily affect access and wildlife. Indigenous communities with traditional ties to this land may want to weigh in.
What Could Change
If approved, Juno Corp could drill test holes and clear brush for survey lines across these claims for up to three years. They'd need to follow provincial standards to minimize environmental impacts, but some clearing and water use would be permitted.
Key Issues
