Frankfurt: WKN-AOB6ST
(Vancouver) - Mark Jarvis, President of Hard Creek Nickel Corp., announced
today that B.C. Hydro, the provincial power utility, had received an
environmental assessment certificate for the proposed Northwest
Transmission Line project. 'This is wonderful news for us,' said Mr.
Jarvis. 'This is the key infrastructure element we need to advance our
Turnagain Nickel project to a reality.'
The proposed $404 million project includes a new 287 kilovolt transmission
line, 344 kilometres from the existing Skeena substation south of Terrace
to a new substation near Bob Quinn Lake. The project is expected to be
complete in the winter of 2013. The assessment report concluded the project
is not likely to have significant adverse effects.
The complete government press release can be viewed at Hard Creek Nickel's
website www.hardcreek.com.
Hard Creek Nickel Corporation is currently advancing its core asset, the
Turnagain project, a giant disseminated nickel-sulphide deposit located in
north central British Columbia, Canada. Current work programs include
metallurgical and engineering studies and baseline environmental studies.
