Bulletin summary

An approval was granted to Frontier Lithium for the advanced exploration activities for lithium mining at the PAK Lithium project mine site.

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 exempted all proposals for policies, acts, regulations and instruments from posting requirements under the EBR.

Ontario Regulation 115/20 was revoked on June 15, 2020, however, we are posting this decision as a bulletin because the proposal was posted on April 14, 2020 while Ontario Regulation 115/20 was in effect.

Although consultation was not required, the ministry did consult with the public on this proposal by posting ERO# 019-1639 for public comment from April 20, 2020 to June 04, 2020. To ensure transparency, the ministry is providing details of its decision and the effects of consultation on decision-making in this notice.
