Nevada Copper Provides Update & AGM Results

02.07.2014  |  Marketwired

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jul 2, 2014) - Nevada Copper Corp. (TSX:NCU) ("Nevada Copper" or "Company") is pleased to provide an update on activities at the Pumpkin Hollow Project, located near Yerington Nevada, and the results of its Annual General Meeting held on Monday, June 30, 2014.

Project Update

The sinking of the 24 foot diameter production sized shaft continues with average sinking rates rising to the expected levels. The shaft depth is currently at 950 feet - approximately half way towards the 1906 foot depth of the main haulage level. The mid-shaft pump station is now under excavation for approximately 10 days, after which shaft sinking will resume. Water inflows into the shaft are minimal, due both to tighter ground conditions and pumping from a nearby dewatering well, this has allowed for minimal or no grouting requirements. Before halting for the pump station excavation, the shaft contractor had several days at 9 to11 feet per day of sinking - above the projected rate of 6 to 7 feet per day.

Engineering and procurement continues at a pace that matches the shaft completion timeline. Proposals have been received and the selection of a construction management firm will occur when the project has progressed further. This selection would allow for the commencement of detailed construction planning. Major contracts for vent shaft sinking, site preparation and the procurement of major items of process plant equipment are finalized and will be executed in due course.

Stage 2 Permitting

Based on on-going discussions with our Washington, DC representation, we know that that the Nevada Senators and Congressmen remain committed to passage of the Lyon County Economic Development and Conservation Act ("the Bill") in 2014. They have advised Nevada Copper, as well as Lyon County and the City of Yerington, that this bill remains one of their top priorities and that they are working very hard to complete the final procedural steps in the House and the Senate to get the bills passed.

The Company has been conducting baseline studies for four years now to support local, state and federal permitting, including cultural, biological, surface water, air and groundwater resources. There is no wilderness, federal jurisdictional waters, endangered species or other sensitive resources or land use conflicts in the project area.

Annual General Meeting Results

The Company is pleased to announce the results from its 2014 Annual General Meeting (the "Meeting"), held on Monday, June 30th in Vancouver, B.C.
