Oregon Approves Environmental Evaluation and Commences Permit Writing for Paramount’s High Grade Grassy Mountain Gold Mine
04 October 2024 - 9:00PM
Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. (NYSE American: PZG) (“Paramount” or
the “Company”) is pleased to announce that during a state Technical
Review Team (“TRT”) meeting on October 3rd, the Environmental
Evaluation (“EE”) for the Grassy Mountain project was approved as
completed. The approval marks the start of the 225-day legislated
timeline for the issuance of draft permits.
The EE was produced by Stantec, a global leader
in engineering, architecture, mining and environmental consulting
under the direction of DOGAMI with input from state permitting
agencies.
Paramount’s President, COO and Director, Mr.
Glen Van Treek stated, “With the approval of the EE, Grassy
Mountain has now entered the final step towards obtaining draft
permits from the State of Oregon. We now look forward to the
release of the Federal draft Environmental Impact Statement on
track to be released in February 2025.”
The Grassy Mountain feasibility study, completed
at a gold price of $1,750 per ounce, projects an average annual
production of 47,000 ounces of gold and 55,000 ounces of silver. At
a moderate increase to $2,100 gold, the post-tax project NPV
increases from $114 million to $189 million.
Paramount CEO and Director, Rachel Goldman,
commented, “Based on the information provided at the TRT meeting we
expect to receive draft permits in May 2025 which will then be
followed by a public hearing prior to the issuance of final
permits, aligning the state permitting timeline with the Federal
record of decision (“RoD”) from the BLM scheduled for late
2025”.
