25.02.2013  |  Marketwired

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 02/25/13 -- Orvana Minerals Corp. (TSX: ORV) ("Orvana or the Company"), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Orvana Resources US Corp ("Orvana USA"), is pleased to report that the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality ("MDEQ") has granted the Wetlands Part 303 and the Inlands Lakes and Streams Part 301 permits for the proposed Copperwood copper mine, Upper Peninsula, Michigan, USA.


"Orvana is pleased that the MDEQ has granted this permit," said Jim Jacques, Chief Operating Officer of the Company and General Manager of Copperwood. "The interaction and dialogue with the MDEQ, as well as their interaction with the Environmental Protection Agency, resulted in a permit that not only includes the creation and preservation of a significant acreage of wetlands proximal to the Copperwood project, but clearly outlines parameters for the proposed mine to be operated in an environmentally-responsible manner as well. We thank the local communities, local businesses, local officials, and especially Gogebic County officials, along with state legislatures and officials for their continued support of our efforts to make a mine in this area a reality."


General aspects of the permit can be viewed on the MDEQ website at www.michigan.gov.
