14.07.2016  |  Marketwired

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jul 14, 2016) - Lundin Gold Inc. ("Lundin Gold" or the "Company") (TSX:LUG)(OMX:LUG) is pleased to announce that the Phase Change Application (the "PCA") in respect of its 100% owned La Zarza concession, which is host to the Fruta del Norte Project ("FDN" or the "Project"), has been approved by the Government of Ecuador. With this approval, the La Zarza concession moves from the exploration phase to the exploitation phase under Ecuador's mining law and permits Aurelian Ecuador S.A., the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, to enter into the Exploitation Agreement with the Government of Ecuador and to proceed with its plans to develop the Project.

Lundin Gold President and Chief Executive Officer, Ron Hochstein, commented that, "The approval of the Phase Change Application for the La Zarza concession is another defining moment in the history of the Fruta del Norte Project. With the completion of the feasibility study and the forthcoming closing of the equity financing announced on June 27, 2016, Lundin Gold continues to make great strides towards the goal of building a high grade gold mine in Ecuador."

The PCA must now be registered in the Mining Registry within 30 days, and Lundin Gold has up to six months from registration to execute the Exploitation Agreement for the Project. The Company continues to work with the Government of Ecuador on obtaining key environmental permits, including formal approval of the Environmental Impact Assessment and related Environmental License, which are also required to develop the Project.
