EXCELSIOR MINING'S JOHNSON CAMP MINE RECEIVES AMENDED STATE PERMIT
The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) has issued an amended aquifer protection permit (APP) for Excelsior Mining Corp.'s Johnson Camp mine. On December 22, 2016, Excelsior filed an application to significantly amend its JCM aquifer protection permit to allow for the processing of fluids from future wellfield operations; the APP is effective as of June 26th, 2017.
Excelsior is currently working with the ADEQ towards the issuance of an Aquifer Protection Permit for the wellfield component of the Gunnison Copper Project. This is the primary operating permit to be issued by the State of Arizona (see previous Excelsior Mining news release dated June 14, 2017 - Excelsior Mining's Gunnison Copper Project Receives Draft State Permit). In parallel, Excelsior is working with the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") for the issuance of an Underground Injection Control ("UIC") Permit. Excelsior anticipates having all state and federal operating permits in place by late Q3, 2017.
