Advanced Exploration: As defined in O. Regulation 240/00 (as amended). With respect to the
Project, this would include the following types of work:
Excavation of material in excess of 1,000 tonnes;
Surface stripping on mining lands where the surface area over which the
surface stripping is carried out is greater than 10,000 square metres, or where
the volume of surface stripping is greater than 10,000 cubic metres, except
where all of the following are satisfied:
i. Surface stripping is carried out in two or more separate areas on the
mining lands.
ii. The edges of each area where surface stripping is carried out are
separated by a minimum of 500 metres.
iii. In each area where surface stripping is carried out,
-the surface area over which the surface stripping is carried out is
not greater than 10,000 square metres, and
-the volume of surface stripping is not greater than 10,000 cubic
metres.
AOC / Area of Concern: As defined by the Ministry of Natural Resources in MNR (1988) and
MNR (2010). This is a buffer that is reserved along watercourses to prevent effects to the
watercourse from the inland development. Specifically, the buffer is intended to minimize the risk
of sedimentation; provide future inputs of coarse woody material; mitigate the effects of harvesting
on water temperature, water circulation and inputs of fine organic material; mitigate the effects of
forest management operations on hydrological linkages between aquatic and terrestrial
