Entree Gold Receives Positive Decision on Clean Water Act Permit for Ann Mason Project, Nevada

19.04.2016  |  Marketwired

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Apr 19, 2016) - Entrée Gold Inc. (TSX:ETG)(NYSE MKT:EGI)(FRANKFURT:EKA) ("Entrée" or the "Company") today announces a significant advance towards permitting of its 100%-owned Ann Mason (the "Ann Mason Project") copper-molybdenum porphyry deposit in Yerington, Nevada. On April 1, 2016, the Company received an approved Waters of the US/Wetlands ("WOUS/Wetlands") jurisdictional determination from the Regulatory Division of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ("USACE"). According to USACE, the water drainages on the Ann Mason Project are considered "isolated waters with no apparent interstate or foreign commerce connection" and as a result, no permit under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act is required for Ann Mason.

Stephen Scott, President and CEO of Entrée noted, "Receipt of an approved WOUS/Wetlands jurisdictional determination for Ann Mason is an important permitting milestone. Although the project is still at a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") stage and other permits will eventually be required for the development of Ann Mason, we believe this to be an important step. The team at site has been working diligently to complete baseline environmental studies, including this WOUS/Wetlands survey, and are fully committed to developing a strong understanding of the environmental aspects of the project in advance of a future Pre-Feasibility study."

In Q2 2013, Entrée initiated a detailed WOUS/Wetlands survey of the Ann Mason Project site using the Reno-based consulting company 7Q10. The survey covered more than 4,000 hectares (10,040 acres) and focused on 41,465 metres of identified dry or seasonal drainages. The surveyed area includes the land required for the proposed development and mining of the Ann Mason deposit and all of the related infrastructure, as shown in the Company's technical report titled "Updated Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Ann Mason Project, Nevada, U.S.A." with an effective date of September 9, 2015, prepared by AGP Mining Consultants Inc. and Amec Foster Wheeler Americas Limited, a copy of which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com or the Company website at www.entreegold.com.

Entrée conducted the WOUS/Wetlands survey of the Ann Mason Project site as part of a package of baseline environmental surveys that included a Class III Cultural Resources Inventory and a Biological survey of vegetation and wildlife. The draft Class III Cultural Resources Inventory and Biological survey have been submitted to the Sierra Front Field Office, Carson City District, US Bureau of Land Management for review.
