Deny New Application by Flag Resources for mineral exploration at Wolf Lake.

Wolf Lake is a very heavily used recreational lake, as well as a globally significant ecological area. Three
of the four sites on the two applications at Wolf Lake (019-0593 & 019-2230) are favoured campsites. All
of the sites have significant old red pine ecosystems. Exploration activity in this area will have
unacceptably high disturbance.

Wolf Lake is the largest known old growth red pine forest and the missing link in the Chiniguchi Waterway Provincial Park. It is past time to fulfil the promise to protect Wolf Lake as a park for present and future generations. Exploration activity in this area will have unacceptably high disturbance to the ecology and social value of this ancient forest.
