Détails de l'exception
The instrument is a proposal under Section 12 (20) of O. Reg. 681/94, a proposal to issue a direction under subsection 148 (5) of the Mining Act.
Pursuant to subsections 148 (3), (4) and (5) of the Mining Act, the Minister of Mines (the Minister) may direct the employees and agents of the Ministry of Mines to do everything practicable, or to do such work and take such action as may be specified in the directions, in respect of the prevention, elimination and amelioration of the adverse effect where the Minister has reasonable grounds for believing that a mine hazard is causing or is likely to cause an immediate and dangerous adverse effect.
Pursuant to subsection 148 (4) (b) of the Mining Act, the Minister may order such work when he or she is of the opinion that the proponent will not carry out promptly the work required to prevent, eliminate and ameliorate the adverse effect.
The former Silver Mountain West (AMIS 08557), Silver Mountain East (AMIS 08566), Crown Point (AMIS 08451) and Dawson Lodes (AMIS 08469) mines are located approximately 60 kilometres southwest of Thunder Bay. The Silver Mountain Mine consists of several open edits, shafts and areas of crown pillar failure. Given the site conditions at the Silver Mountain Mine posed an imminent risk to public safety, Minister’s Directions were issued to prevent, eliminate and ameliorate the adverse effect.
