Bell Mountain Gold Project Achieves Environmental Milestone

15.04.2020  |  The Newswire
Vancouver BC, April 15th, 2020 - Eros Resources Corp. (TSXV:ERC) ("Eros" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Bureau of Land Management (the "BLM") has provided a Finding of No Significant Impact ("FONSI") on the Environmental Assessment ("EA") of Eros' Bell Mountain Gold Project in Nevada.

The Finding of No Significant Impact in the Decision Record of the EA is a key step in advancing the Bell Mountain Gold Project toward production, and a significant milestone for Eros in general. This ruling ensures that our proposed mine operations at the Bell Mountain site can proceed without significant environmental hurdles and, when combined with the Record of Decision from the Department of the Navy confirming that the Bell Mountain property will not be encumbered by the Fallon Naval Air Station expansion, amounts to an extremely positive 1st quarter for Eros.

Mr. Ron Netolitzky, President and CEO of Eros, stated: "We are very pleased with the advances made in permitting and are excited about the proposed operations at our Bell Mountain Gold Project. I thank our technical team in Nevada, along with our consultants, for their work."

The Bell Mountain Gold Project is located 86 kilometres (54 miles) southeast of Fallon in Churchill County, Nevada. Eros submitted its Bell Mountain Mine Plan of Operations ("MPO") to the Carson City Field Office of the BLM on August 18, 2018 and has been aggressively pursuing permits for full mining development and operations.

The Environmental Assessment of the Eros' MPO, undertaken by the BLM and its environmental specialists in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act, concluded with a FONSI dated March 26th, 2020, meaning the voluntary design features and environmental protection measures as outlined by Eros in the MPO are considered to adequately mitigate and/or protect natural resources and habitat and prevent significant impacts to public land.

A copy of the Environmental Assessment and other related documents are available on-line at: https://go.usa.gov/xd2Ja. The applicable news release published by BLM, can be accessed at: https://www.blm.gov/press-release/blm-approves-bell-mountain-mine-project
