BWR Exploration Inc. Receives Second Tranche of Funding from Manitoba Mineral Development Fund
18 October 2022 - 12:00AM
BWR Exploration Inc. (the “Company” or “BWR”) (TSX.V: BWR) is
pleased to announce that the second tranche of funding as outlined
in the “Contribution Agreement” dated October 25, 2021 with MMDF
Corporation has been approved for release. Upon receipt of the
second $100,000 tranche BWR will have received $200,000 of the
total $300,000 grant from the Manitoba Mineral Development Fund
(“MMDF”), details of which were previously announced on January 7,
2021. MMDF further advised that the Contribution Agreement for the
third and final tranche has been extended until March 31, 2023,
provided certain conditions are met. In addition, BWR has recently
received authorization to proceed with a soil remediation program
upon receipt of the plan after it has been shared with the
leadership of Manto Sipi Cree Nation.
Use of Proceeds from MMDF: The
first tranche proceeds of $100,000 received last fall from the MMDF
grant facilitated a baseline clean-up program at BWR’s existing
exploration camp located at Little Stull Lake in NE Manitoba.
Thirty-five soil samples were submitted for hydro-carbon analysis;
a small surficial area (~3m by ~25m by ~0.2m deep) was identified
as being of concern. The soil samples were collected from the camp
site (1 hectare) on 25-meter centers; the results outlined a
relatively small area of elevated hydrocarbons in soil, where empty
fuel drums had been previously stored. The results were reported in
a Soil in Hydrocarbon Report (“Soil Report”) to MSCN Chief and
Council in January 2022, then forwarded to Manitoba Ministry of
Natural Resources and Northern Development (“MNRND”) as request by
the Chief at the time. The Soil Report was reviewed by Manitoba
Department of Environment, Climate and Parks (“MECP”), in late
June, 2022. MECP requested the Soil Report be peer reviewed by an
independent environmental consulting group. The MECP letter was
submitted to leadership of MSCN for review, meanwhile, BWR retained
Pinchin Ltd., an environmental consulting firm with offices in
Winnipeg, to peer review the Soil Report and develop a remediation
plan.
Authorization to
Proceed: In late September, 2022, BWR received
authorization from leadership of MSCN to engage in limited
activities on their Ancestral Land at Little Stull Lake. In the
authorization communique, BWR was requested to engage Pinchin Ltd.
to complete a peer review of the Soil Report and prepare
recommendations for a remediation plan. BWR engaged Pinchin on
September 30. Their Peer Review Report (“PR Report”) is expected
before the end of October. MSCN further advised that after their
review of the PR Report, BWR could proceed with the clean-up
remediation as recommended by Pinchin and authorized by MECP. BWR
was further authorized to complete minor repairs and some camp
maintenance at the site to prepare it for the onset of winter. BWR
is currently planning a short work program, which would commence
following community consultations, if MSCN agrees; BWR is targeting
late Fall 2022 for the commencement of the work (the soil
remediation and camp repairs/maintenance).
Work Permit update: BWR’s 2023
exploration proposal involves diamond drilling several exploratory
holes; the start of this early-stage exploration program is
contingent upon following the Consultation Protocol Roadmap as
agreed to between MSCN and the Crown, and receiving the required
permissions from the Crown in consultation with the leadership of
MSCN as well as the community. Part of the Roadmap includes BWR
meeting with leadership of MSCN followed by “in-community
meetings”. In this regard, BWR attended a meeting in Winnipeg with
MSCN leadership on October 13, and an in-community meeting is
scheduled for October 17 involving Community members, Community
Leadership, representatives of the Crown (MNRND) and BWR. BWR
anticipates that the in-community meeting should open the door for
entering into an early-stage exploration agreement with MSCN; the
terms of this agreement would be subject to the outcome of the
community consultations.
