"Completing this permitting milestone, within our scheduled timeline, is a major achievement for the Company," said, President & CEO, Stephen Twyerould. "With the receipt, earlier this year, of an amended Aquifer Protection Permit for our Johnson Camp Mine, we can now focus exclusively on the timely completion of the federal permit, which is the final operating permit required for production." (See Excelsior news release dated June 27, 2017 - Excelsior Mining's Johnson Camp Mine Receives Amended State Permit).
The ADEQ has issued Excelsior a Grant Letter, which remains appealable under specific circumstances for 30 days. After the close of the appeal period, the APP will be fully executed and the permit will then be active. In parallel, Excelsior continues to work with the Environmental Protection Agency towards the issuance of an Underground Injection Control Permit.
Twyerould added, "We look forward to continuing our excellent collaborative relationship with stakeholders and local communities as we work to build and operate one of the most economically compelling and environmentally friendly mining operations in the United States."
