Erin Ventures Starts Next Work Phase at Its Piskanja Boron Property and Temporarily Delays Resource

11.03.2014  |  FSCwire
Erin Looks to Advance the Project to Feasibility

Victoria, British Columbia CANADA, March 11, 2014 /FSC/ - Erin Ventures Inc. (EV - TSX Venture), announces that the work program required to advance its 100% owned Piskanja project to a feasibility study stage has commenced. Piskanja is a high-grade boron deposit with a NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource of 5.6 million indicated tonnes (30.8% B2O3), in addition to 6.2 million inferred tonnes (28.8% B2O3).

This work phase includes: infill drilling on a 50x50 meter grid to raise the confidence level to "measured" in the central part of the deposit; inclined structural holes to aid in a better understanding of the complexities of the tectonics of the deposit; exploratory drill holes to evaluate the potential propagation of ore bodies in the direction of some positive Rio Tinto drill results to the western and southern extremities of the property; drill holes along the alignment of the planned decline and main ventilation shafts; bulk sampling of several tons of mineralized material from the central part of the deposit utilizing large diameter bore holes for metallurgical and beneficiation studies; geotechnical, environmental, social impact, hydrological and other studies; and, a feasibility study.

"This next phase could possibly be completed within 12 months at a cost of under $5 million, if all goes as expected" said Tim Daniels, President of Erin. "The desired outcome is a deposit with a measured resource, a larger overall resource in all categories, and a feasibility study that helps prepare the project for eventual mine development and exploitation. Taking the project to this next level also improves our ability to source and secure strategic partners and financing on terms that are more favourable to Erin"

This work program is designed to ensure that the project complies both with the Canadian Institute of Mining "Best Practice Guidelines" and Serbian mine development regulations, as well as being a required step in the Serbian mine licensing process.

Additionally, Erin announces that it has temporarily delayed the Resource Certification process (the first step in the mine license application process) for the Piskanja property, until either proposed new mining laws are ratified in Serbia, or Erin completes its next work phase (that takes the project through to feasibility). Erin was anticipating the implementation of the new mining laws prior to the completion of its Resource Certification process, however that has not occurred. Erin believes that the draft mining laws will provide significantly superior protection to Erin's mineral property rights as Erin proceeds through the mine licensing stages, as well as provide for mine license approval steps that better match with "industry best practice" mine development phases. Erin considers these to be substantial and required improvements to the current Serbian mining regulations, prompting Erin's decision to delay the certification process.

"The current Serbian mining law prohibits us from completing the next phase of technical work on the property that is required to take the project through to a feasibility study stage, if we were to complete the Resource Certification now. Unfortunately, as the result of the recently called election in Serbia, it may be several more months before the new mining laws are adopted. Therefore the only prudent course of action in order to continue the advancement of the project (given the current laws) is for us to complete the required work before continuing with the resource certification and other mine licensing steps" said Tim Daniels, President of Erin Ventures. "Of course, we may choose to continue with the certification process once the new laws are in place, without stopping or altering our ongoing work program."

The Piskanja project development timing, strategy, and costs are not anticipated to be materially affected by the decision to delay the Resource Certification. The planned development work phases required in order for the project to comply with both the Canadian Institute of Mining "Best Practice Guidelines" and Serbian mine development regulations remain unchanged and are expected to proceed on schedule. Erin's operations comply with both the current and the proposed new mining laws.
