Subiaco, Western Australia (FSCwire) - RTG Mining Inc. (“RTG”, “the Company”) (TSX Code: RTG, ASX Code: RTG) is pleased to announce the fruition of 18 months of detailed work with the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (“MGB”) and Department of Environment and Natural Resources (“DENR”) resulting in an endorsement of the Mabilo Project, with the issue of both the ECC, which sets out the operating and environmental conditions for the Mabilo Project in the Philippines, together with a renewal of the Exploration Permit, EP-014-2013-V (“EP”). This is consistent with the MGB’s statement on 21 January 2016 to erase the exploration permit backlog by June 30th.
A binding Heads of Agreement has also been signed between the joint venture partners on the Mabilo Project, resolving all open points between the parties. The parties have agreed to drop all actions in connection with an earlier request for co-permittee status and incorporate the joint venture through Mt. Labo, with all parties working jointly and co-operatively to advance the development and operation of the Mabilo Project.
With the renewal of the EP, we are now positioned to advance the exploration programs with the initial holes designed to convert inferred material already falling within the pit designs, and test the new interpretative work done which highlights significant potential for a porphyry between the South and South East Mineralized Zones.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said recently that the proposals of the new Administration, led by the President elect, Mr Duterte, could further brighten the already positive macroeconomic outlook for the Philippines (Bloomberg.com June7, 2016). If correct, this will be an added boost for an economy already viewed as one of the world's best performers, with growth exceeding China's in the first quarter, at 6.9% (with gains in industry of 8.7% and service sector growth of 7.9%).
