Environmental Permits For New Tailings Storage Facility At Topia

 

VANCOUVER - Great Panther Silver reported that Semarnat, the Mexican environmental authority, has granted the Company all permits for the construction and operation of the new Phase II Tailings Storage Facility ("TSF") at its Topia Mine in Durango, Mexico.

"We are pleased with the conclusion of the permitting process without interruption of operations at Topia", stated James Bannantine, President & CEO.  "We will be commencing imminently the construction of Phase II and have sufficient remaining capacity at Phase I to continue mining operations allowing a seamless transition to deposition at Phase II." 

The permits granted by Semarnat for the construction and operation of the Phase II TSF and the modifications to the processing plant earlier in the year will allow dry stack tailings disposal under the Company's current operating plan for the Topia Mine.
