U.S. Gold Corp. receives mine operating permit approval for Wyoming project
U.S. Gold Corp. has announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Gold King Corp., has been issued its Surface Gold Mine Permit, dated 29 April 2024, from the Director of the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, subject to certain conditions.
In commenting on the approval, George Bee, President, CEO and Director of U.S. Gold Corp. said, “Having previously been granted the Industrial Siting Permit in June last year and now the Mine Operating Permit we have cleared the major regulatory hurdles towards project development. Work to meet final authorisation for development is well underway. The remaining conditions are the approval of the reclamation bond which has already been submitted, the Wyoming Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (WYPDES) permitting process, which is in the final stages of approval, and the WDEQ Air Quality Division (AQD) permits, where technical work is under review. We remain on track to receive the necessary permits around mid-year, as per prior guidance.”
Luke Norman, Executive Chairman of U.S. Gold Corp. added, “This is an outstanding accomplishment. Since shifting the Company’s focus in August 2020 from exploration to the development of the CK Gold Project, through the receipt of the Mine Operating Permit, is a remarkable achievement. We would like to recognise our management team, consultants, and the State of Wyoming regulatory authorities for everyone’s hard work and dedication advancing the CK Gold Project. The CK Gold Project sits on State and private ground in Wyoming, which is an extraordinary jurisdiction for resource development, with a clear regulatory framework, and authorities that are knowledgeable, experienced, and motivated to safely and responsibly manage the State’s mineral wealth.”
