VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Dec 1, 2015) - Imperial Metals Corp. (the "Company") (TSX:III) is pleased to announce the Company's Syndicate of Lenders has confirmed the Red Chris mine has achieved the completion test requirements of the Company's Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, which is currently due October 1, 2016.
Brian Kynoch, the Company's President, stated: "This is another important milestone for the Red Chris mine. I would like to thank all of our employees and contractors who have been involved with construction, commissioning and operation of the Red Chris mine. We should all take great pride in this result given the relatively short period of time involved, and together we look forward to continued success at the mine."
Mount Polley mine has received a permit amendment to allow for the discharge of treated water. The permit, issued by the British Columbia Ministry of Environment, allows treated water to be discharged into Hazeltine Creek where it will flow down to a settlement pond and then into twin pipelines that will discharge approximately 40-50 metres below the surface of Quesnel Lake.
