Grassy Mountain Gold Mine Permitting Process Continues To Progress

WINNEMUCCA,NV - Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. reported that the permitting process for its proposed Grassy Mountain Gold Mine continues to progress on schedule with the State’s Technical Review Team (TRT) having reviewed and accepted two additional baseline reports.

Glen van Treek, CEO said, “The continuing acceptance of our baseline reports is extremely encouraging as we continue building on our momentum to get the proposed Grassy Mountain mine permitted with all regulatory authorities, Federal, State and County. We are on track to achieve our next permitting milestone with the filing of the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) with the Malheur County Planning Department.”

The TRT has reviewed and accepted the Geology and Soils Baseline Data Report (BDR) as complete. This report characterizes the baseline conditions for a wide array of geologic factors which will be used in applications ranging from construction through to reclamation.

The Aquatic Resources BDR was also reviewed and accepted by the TRT which includes representatives of several State regulatory agencies: the Department of Fish and Wildlife; the Department of Environmental Quality; the Department of State Lands; and the DOGAMI.  The Aquatics Resources BDR characterizes aquatic resources in the study area prior to the start of proposed mining operations. 

These baseline reports are critical components of the Consolidated Permit Application which Paramount expects to file with DOGAMI later this year. The Bureau of Land Management also requires the baseline data reports for its Environmental Impact Statement.
