NewsFrontier Pacific: The Greek Government officially expresses its intention to grant approval of the Environmental Impact Study for the Perama Gold Project
Vancouver, British Columbia - December 3, 2007 - The Greek Ministry of Environment, Land Planning and Public Works, informed the Parliament of Greece, that the review of the Environmental Impact Study (“EIS”), along with all the additional data and special studies, had been completed for the construction, operation and rehabilitation of the Perama Gold Project of Thracean Gold Mines SA., the Greek operating subsidiary of Frontier Pacific Mining Corporation (TSX-V:FRP). The Ministerial review of the EIS included opinions from the other members of the governing ministerial council as well as the regional councils of the Districts of Evros and Rodopi. The Perama Gold Project area straddles both the districts of Evros and Rodopi, Northeastern Greece.
In addition, and most importantly for Thracean Gold Mines, the Minister announced that the Ministerial Committee had completed the draft of the “Joint Ministerial Decision” for the approval of the Joint Ministerial Council. The Government's announcement clearly states that the “Environmental Terms of Reference” approving the EIS are based on the National and European legislation and in particular the “Best Available Techniques” set out to address the environmental impact during construction, operation and rehabilitation of the area after operation.
This is the first time that the Government of Greece has publicly announced such a clear and official position with regards to the Perama Gold Project. The announcement supports the view of the majority of the citizens in the area and around the project and confirms its intention to license the Perama Gold Project.
