Search Minerals Engages Allnorth to Commence Environmental Applications for the FOXTROT Project

14.10.2016  |  CNW

VANCOUVER, Oct. 14, 2016 /CNW/ - Search Minerals Inc. (TSXV: SMY) ("Search" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the engagement of Allnorth ("Allnorth") to commence the preparation of registration documents (the "Documents") for both the provincial and federal regulators (together, the "Regulators"). Preparation of the Documents for each of the Regulators will occur concurrently. The Documents will be prepared to meet the respective submission requirements as outlined in the "Guide to Preparing a Description of a Designated Project under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012," published by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency, and "Environmental Assessment... A Guide to the Process," published by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, Department of Environment and Climate Change.

Greg Andrews, President and CEO of the Company states: "Search is very pleased to initiate this very important process as we continue to advance the FOXTROT project. These applications are the stepping stones to engage all stakeholders in the FOXTROT project towards the development and permitting stage. I would like to thank our shareholders and other stakeholders, who have continued to support Search. We expect to submit these applications by February 2017."

The following are the next steps of the environmental process:

  • Once the project description is submitted, the Regulators have a 10 day period to review the document in order to determine if there is sufficient information to make a decision whether an environment assessment ("Environmental Assessment") is required.  At this time the Regulators could request a revised project description submission containing the additional information if they deem that insufficient information has been provided.
  • After the Regulators accept the project description, they have a period of 45 calendar days to make a decision of whether an Environmental Assessment is required. There is a 20-day period for public comment within the 45-day period.
  • If the Regulators determine that an environmental assessment is required, they will post the decision on the Internet site of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Registry. This sets the Environmental Process in motion and begins the 365 day timeline for the Regulators.

About Search Minerals Inc.
Led by a proven management team and board of directors, Search is focused on finding and developing resources within the emerging Port Hope Simpson Critical Rare Earth Element (CREE) District of SE Labrador. The Company controls a belt 70 km long and 8 km wide including its 100% interest in the FOXTROT Project which is road accessible and at tidewater. Exploration efforts have advanced "Deepwater Fox" and "Fox Meadow" as significant new CREE prospects very similar and in close proximity to the FOXTROT discovery. While the Company has identified more than 20 other prospects in the District, its primary objective remains development of FOXTROT by confirming proprietary processing technology at the pilot plant level (in progress) and delineation of prospects that will ensure competitive-low cost production beyond the 14-year mine life contemplated in the preliminary economic assessment of FOXTROT completed in April 2016. The FOXTROT Project has a low capital cost to bring the initial project into production ($152 M), a short payback period, and is scalable due to Search's proprietary processing technology.
