Other information

This notice was updated on March 20, 2017 to provide the following information:

According to O. Reg. 308/12, s. 16(1).1 the permit has been placed on temporary hold. There are concerns raised by an Aboriginal community whose existing or asserted Aboriginal or treaty rights are potentially affected by the proposed exploration activity which, in the opinion of the Director, warrant additional time to adequately consider.
