Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) has issued a draft operating permit, the aquifer protection permit (APP), for Excelsior Mining’s Gunnison Copper Project, located in Cochise County, southeastern Arizona. The draft APP will remain open for public comment for a minimum of 30 days. The timing of the issuance of the final APP is subject to this public comment period.
“The ADEQ’s decision to issue our draft APP for public comment is a substantial step forward in advancing the Gunnison Copper Project; a project that will bring enormous economic benefits to the state and local communities, whilst maintaining the highest environmental and safety standards,” said Stephen Twyerould, president and CEO.
“We look forward to continuing our work with the ADEQ, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), local communities and other stakeholders to successfully complete the permitting process in advance of commercial production, which remains on schedule for 2018,” added Twyerould.
