Greystar Announces Completion of Angostura Project Public Hearing
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/29/10 -- Greystar Resources Ltd. (the 'Company') (TSX: GSL)(AIM: GSL) is pleased to announce that the Public Hearing to consider the Company's Angostura Project Environmental Impact Study ('EIS') was held on November 21st, 2010 in California, Santander, the community nearest to the project. The Public Hearing is part of the process for obtaining the Environmental License for the Angostura Project which, as regulated by law, allows interested parties to request such a hearing thereby providing interested stakeholders a platform to voice their opinions.
Steve Kesler, President and CEO of Greystar commented, 'We are very pleased that the Public Hearing was held in an atmosphere of complete calm, civility and with mutual respect given to those wishing to voice opposing opinions. It was attended by more than 1,300 people, including those that in their official condition had a right to participate and lasted for 9 hours but the representatives of the petitioners for the Public Hearing, who are opposed to the project, elected not to participate. The forum gave the people of Santander, and particularly the residents of the potentially impacted communities (California, Vetas, Surata, Matanza, Berlin, and Charta), the opportunity to express their views about the development of the Angostura project. There was strong support for the project, and the opportunities it would bring, not just for California, but for Santander and the country as a whole. The Ministry of Environment, Housing and Territorial Development (MAVDT) has five days from the Public Hearing to prepare the minutes of the meeting, following which the EIS review will continue. Greystar will continue to liaise with the MAVDT on the EIS review to ensure that they have all the information needed to take a decision on the environmental license.'
Greystar follows a policy of complete transparency and frankness, and has stressed its commitment to create a lasting and positive contribution toward sustainable development through environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and well-being of the region. We are committed to establishing a biodiversity offset program that ensures no net loss of biodiversity. We will utilize leading technology to minimize water use and to ensure there is no impact on water supply or quality to downstream users. Greystar is also a signatory of the International Cyanide Management Code. Citizen participation has been invited in the environmental monitoring of our operation.
