Proposed Project
Zenyatta proposes a large-diameter reverse circulation drilling program to obtain a 990 tonne bulk sample from cell claims 253558 and 265162. Drilling is proposed via truck-mounted drill. Additional equipment will include a bulldozer for site preparation as well as a compressor. Approximately 30 drill holes are expected to be drilled, as closely as possible to minimize land disturbance via the preparation of drill pads. 90% of material will be extracted from the west pipe and 10% from the east pipe. Pipe locations are shown on Figure 5.
An exploration camp may be set up on site to accommodate the exploration crew of approximately 10 personnel. Setup of the exploration camp will be contracted to an exploration camp company. Refuse will be collected and transported to a landfill. Zenyatta is also considering setting up the camp from the Eagle’s Earth Centre situated on Hwy. 11 and owned by Constance Lake First Nation.
Project Timelines
Zenyatta wishes to start preparing the property for drilling in December of 2018. Drilling is proposed to commence in January 2019 until March 2019. The exploration permit for the project would be active for 3 years.
Potential Impacts
Minimal impacts are expected as exploration drilling has recently been performed within the same footprint as the proposed project, and no new access will be created. Drilling will be performed over a short duration – with the bulk sample expected to be collected during the winter of 2019 (approximately 3 months). Disturbance associated with the past activities is shown on Figure 3 and Figure 4.
Surface Water
No impacts to water bodies are foreseen as drilling will be localized and there are no creeks or ponds in the vicinity of the project area. The cell claims are located approximately 900 m east
of Pitopiko River area 930 m west of the Nagagami River (Figure 5). Drilling is proposed during the winter months when ground conditions are frozen. If water is required for the drill program, water will be pumped from the holes previously drilled in 2013 as the casings are still in place and the holes have been capped.
Drilling will also follow the Provincial Standards for Early Exploration, which requires that drilling fluids, cuttings and mud, if left on site, be contained and must not be left within 30 metres from any permanent water body or waterway.
