EROS Resources Corp. Moves Forward with the Permitting Process on Bell Mountain

31.08.2020  |  CNW

VANCOUVER, Aug. 31, 2020 - Eros Resources Corp. ("EROS" or the "Company") (TSXV: ERC) is pleased to announce progress in its permitting process for the Bell Mountain Mine (gold and silver) in Churchill County, Nevada.

Summary:

  • Application for the Water Pollution Control Permit submitted
  • The permit is one of the most important documents required to move the project forward
  • Previous Environmental Assessment resulted in Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI)

Bell Mountain Exploration Corp. (BMEC), a Nevada corporation wholly owned by EROS, has recently submitted a Water Pollution Control Permit Application (WPCPA) to the Nevada Bureau of Mining Regulation and Reclamation (BMRR).

According to the BMRR, facilities utilizing chemicals for processing ores in Nevada are generally required to meet a zero discharge performance standard. Water Pollution Control Permits are issued to an operator by the BMRR to ensure operation of the facility will not result in degradation of waters of the State. This is a major permit issued by the State of Nevada.

The large permit application document was prepared by Welsh Hagen Associates of Reno, Nevada. As required by Nevada Administrative Code, the document includes an Assessment of Area of Review, Meteorological Report, Engineering Design Report (including detail design sheets), Fluid Management Plan, Proposed Operating Plans, Monitoring Plan, Emergency Response Plan, and Tentative Plan for Permanent Closure. The BMRR review process normally takes 180 days for completion of new applications.

The aforementioned WPCPA submission for the Bell Mountain Mine is part of a continuing permit process which has included an approved Mine Plan of Operations, an Environmental Assessment with a Finding of No Significant Impact and a Decision Record approving advancement of the project. The Principal Deputy of the U.S. Navy has also confirmed in a letter that they are committed to work with BMEC in accommodating mine development adjacent to the Fallon Naval Air Station.

Mr. Ron Netolitzky, President and CEO of EROS, states "The Company is very pleased with the progress made in the permitting process of the Bell Mountain. We are excited about moving the Bell Mountain gold/silver project forward. We firmly believe the scale of the Bell Mountain Mine can be further increased with additional exploration work on the property in the near term, and that's what we plan to do. I thank our technical team in Nevada, along with our consultants, for their diligent and tireless work."

Eros has engaged McClelland Laboratories in Reno, NV to estimate capital and operating costs (±20%) for the Bell Mountain Gold Project. Subsequent data will be used to update the present economic model.

Furthermore, Eros is planning to reinstate the exploration activities in a near future, with the purpose of further expanding the current resource base.
