BHP bets billions on Chile mines to face global copper crunch
BHP detailed to investors this week plans to spend $10.7 billion to $14.7 billion within about 10 years.
VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 3, 2021 /CNW/ - EROS Resources Corp. ("EROS" or the "Company") (TSXV: ERC) is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary Bell Mountain Exploration Corp. (BMEC) has received a Water Pollution Control Permit (WPCP) from the Nevada Bureau of Mining Regulation and Reclamation (BMRR) for the Bell Mountain Mine Project (gold and silver) in Churchill County, Nevada.
Summary:
The WPCP was received October 28, 2021 following a 14-month review process which was extended due to Covid-19 delays encountered by BMRR. The submission of the initial permit application was previously announced by EROS on Aug. 31, 2020. A WPCP is required to operate a mine in the State of Nevada and is only issued to an operator following extensive technical review by BMRR to ensure that the operation will not result in degradation of the waters of the State.
The WPCP is an integral part of an ongoing permitting process, which has included approval of a Plan of Operations and Environmental Assessment by the Federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) with a Finding of No Significant Impact and Record of Decision in 2019 and confirmation from the U.S. Navy that they are committed to work with BMEC in accommodating mine development adjacent to the Fallon Naval Air Station Bravo 17 training range.
Mr. Ron Netolitzky, President and CEO of EROS, states "This is a major milestone in the development of the Bell Mountain Mine Project. I would like to thank the BMEC Team and their consultants, Welsh Hagen Associates of Reno, Nevada and Stantec for their diligent work in preparing the Permit Application and associated environmental background documentation. As we continue to advance additional permit applications, we are also planning additional exploration programs to enhance the resource at Bell Mountain as we look ahead toward a potential production decision."
