Bulletin summary

The Director of Exploration has made a decision on the exploration permit application PR-20-000104 to Battery Mineral Resources Limited for early exploration activities approximately 80 kilometres West by North West from the town of Temiskaming Shores, in Milner township.

The decision is to: Issue the permit.

Why consultation isn't required

On April 1, 2020, the Ontario Government made a temporary regulation to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak. Ontario Regulation 115/20 exempts all proposals for policies, acts, regulations and instruments from posting requirements under the EBR until 30 days after the declared emergency is terminated.

Although consultation was not required, the ministry did consult with the public on this proposal by posting ERO#019-1655 for public comment from April 14, 2020 to May 14, 2020. To ensure transparency, the ministry is providing details of its decision and the effects of consultation on decision-making in this notice.
