Mineral Exploration Permit for New Break Resources - Hincks, Hutt, and Zavitz Townships
Official title: New Break Resources Ltd. - Mineral exploration permit
New Break Resources wants to drill for minerals about 30 km northwest of Matachewan. The company would use heavy drilling equipment to take rock samples from underground. This means clearing small areas for drill pads and potentially drawing water from nearby lakes or streams.
Why This Matters
Live near Matachewan or in the Sudbury District? This drilling could affect local water sources and wilderness areas. If you hunt, fish, or have a cottage in the area, you might want to weigh in.
What Could Change
If approved, New Break Resources could drill on over 50 mining claims for up to 3 years. They'd clear small areas for drill pads and may pump water from nearby lakes and streams. The permit can be renewed after that.
Key Issues
- Should the ministry issue a permit for mechanized drilling in this area?
