Duty to Consult: 2022 Denison Mines - Ford Lake Mineral Exploration Project
What type of activities will occur?
Proposed project work consists of diamond drilling of up to 20 drill holes, up to five (5) kilometers of drill spur trails and a small temporary work camp at a historic camp site on Philips Lake.
A skidder will be used to remove snow from existing trails (Fox Lake Road) to access the work area off of Highway #905 and to establish the new spur trails if existing trails do not exist within the target drill areas.
Personnel will be accommodated at the Philips Lake camp site.
If the project work is carried out in the summer months, the area will be accessed by helicopter and personnel will be accommodated at the Wheeler River Camp.
Drill pads will not exceed 20 meters by 20 meters, any new spur trails and clearing of existing trails will not exceed 5-meter width, and heli-pads will not exceed 30 meters by 30 meters.
When will these activities occur (Permit Length)?
Project activities are expected to take place for up to 12 weeks for the drilling program between January 2022 and December 2022.
