Dear karolina, |
October 3, 2007 |
REDCORP VENTURES LTD. (RDV-TSX) and Redfern Resources Ltd. ("Redfern"), its wholly-owned subsidiary, (together the "Company"), are pleased to announce that Redfern has received approval from the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Office for its proposed design and infrastructure changes to the original mine plan.�
"The approval of the revised mine design by the Province of British Columbia brings the Tulsequah Chief Project closer to becoming British Columbia's next metal mine," said Terry Chandler, President & CEO of Redcorp. "The acceptance of the proposed changes to the site plan allow for a smaller environmental footprint for the mine while increasing operational efficiency and ultimately profitability."�
Highlights from the revised mine site plan include:�
- a 2000 tonnes per day milling capacity as outlined in the feasibility study announced on January 29, 2007;
- the movement of the pyrite storage facility to within a lined waste rock temporary storage area;
- a reduction in the original size of temporary waste rock storage from 5.6 hectares to 3.0 hectares;
- the combining of three separate infrastructure facility areas into one area of similar dimensions within a previously disturbed area; and
- the movement of the crushing and milling facility to an enclosed building on surface.
Redfern has also received approval for the extension to its original Project Approval Certificate which allows for the design, construction, operation and ultimate dismantlement of the Tulsequah Chief Mine Development Project. Under the terms of the amendment, the Province of British Columbia has granted an extension of up to five years to its original Certificate during which time Redfern must substantially start the Project. This extension is valid until December 12, 2012.
Redfern has one final EA amendment application in progress, to approve the use of air cushion barges for year-round access to the site in place of the 162 kilometer access road.� This amendment is in the public comment period. Information from public comments will be incorporated in the formal review process.� Redfern anticipates that the formal EA amendment process will conclude by the end of this year.
Work on site is continuing and the Company has now completed an additional phase of conventional barging which included deliveries of bridges, additional heavy equipment and a water treatment plant.� The Company is presently awaiting the issuance of its Mineral Exploration Code Permit II which will allow for the continuation of road construction from the Big Bull junction to the mine site and construction of an airstrip.
Redcorp Ventures Ltd. is a Vancouver-based mineral exploration and development company with active projects in British Columbia and Portugal.� Further information on Redcorp and its projects can be obtained on Redcorp's website at www.redcorp-ventures.com or by calling Troy Winsor Manager of Investor Relations at 1-888-225-9662.� Members of the media or other stakeholders should contact Salina Landstad, Manager of Public Relations and Corporate Communications at (604) 639-0135.
