Arizona Mining’s subsidiary Arizona Minerals Inc. (AMI) has received three permits from the State of Arizona for its Taylor Deposit: the Aquifer Protection Permit (APP), the Arizona Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit (AZPDES), and the Dam Safety Permit.

These permits enable the company to commence construction of a lined tailings storage facility (TSF), an active water treatment plant (WTP) and an underdrain collection pond. Construction is slated to begin immediately and will be staged, with the first completed facility being the water treatment plant. Rummell Construction has been awarded the contract for the TSF and Veolia Water Technologies has been awarded the contract to supply the water treatment facility.

“The receipt of these key permits is an important milestone in executing our strategy for the Taylor Deposit. In addition to cleaning up the historic liabilities on the Trench property, these three facilities will serve as the foundation for future operations planned for the site,” said Jim Gowans, president and CEO. 

“Permitting with the state agencies was a comprehensive and transparent process. We are very appreciative of the interaction with the regulators as it improved our plans and benefited both parties,” added Gowans.

The company expects to complete a feasibility study in mid-2018 and in the interim, will continue to conduct exploration drilling to define the limits of the Taylor resource, which remains open in multiple directions.
