  • Hi Debra, I clipped this image from google earth and thought perhaps you might like to see it.  It shows the footprint of exploration in the Ring of Fire. It’s not even the full footprint but it’s telling and this is before full mine development. In case you aren’t familiar with exploration rules in Ontario, there are no requirements for restoration of land after exploration projects are completed. Proponents must cap drill holes and keep materials (drill casings and fluids) 30 m away from water bodies.  See part III of the provincial standards for early exploration (attached).   Also, these activities do not go through provincial environmental review. The “trails” are especially worrisome as you can see from below. While Ontario claims early exploration impacts are benign, in this ecosystem, they are permanent.   This is why we think the current footprint of exploration must be included in the ...

  • Provincial Standards for Early Exploration Introduction These Provincial Standards have been developed as part of the implementation of the graduated regulatory regime for early exploration under the Mining Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. M.14 as amended by Bill 173, the Mining Amendment Act, 2009, S.O. 2009, c. 21 (the “Mining Act”), and the Exploration Plans and Exploration Permits regulation under the Mining Act, [O. Reg. 308/12]. There are three Parts to these Provincial Standards: I) Requirements for Carrying Out Exploration Plan Activities; II) Requirements for Carrying Out Exploration Permit Activities; and III) Requirements for Rehabilitation of Exploration Plan and Exploration Permit Activities. The requirements of Parts I and II apply when the respective early exploration activities are being carried out, while Part III Rehabilitation applies when the early exploration activities have been completed. In the event there is any conflict ...
