Nevada Copper's Remaining Stage One Permits Issued for Public Comment

Marketwired
Nevada Copper Corp. (TSX:NCU) ("Nevada Copper" or "Company") is
pleased to provide an update on the final two permits needed for
the Stage 1 underground mine. The two other key permits, the State
reclamation permit and the Lyon County Special Use Permit have been
issued (see June 10 and June 25, 2013 News Releases).
The Nevada Department of Environmental Protection ("NDEP")
issued the reclamation permit after receiving no comments during a
30 day public comment period. The Lyon County Special Use Permit
was issued after a unanimous decision by the Lyon County
Commission.
Water Pollution Control Permit ("WPCP")
On July 10, 2013, NDEP issued the 30-day Public Notice to issue
the modified Water Pollution Control Permit allowing for Stage 1
construction and operations. Subsequent to the 30-day public
review, the permit modification will be issued. Nevada Copper
originally received this Water Pollution Control Permit in 2008 in
order to sink the current 2,400 foot, 24 foot diameter production
sized shaft currently in progress and targeted for completion by
Q2-2014.
Air Pollution Control Permit ("APCP")
Nevada Copper also submitted the application for an Air
Pollution Control Permit in May 2013. The application is for a
Class II, or minor, permit, and the only emissions from the project
were particulates (dust). The emissions inventory and air
dispersion modeling completed showed that the project, as designed
with emission controls, would be well within ambient air quality
standards.
NDEP deemed that application administratively complete on June
28, 2013. At that time the 30-day public notice period begins and
runs concurrent with the NDEP technical review. NDEP had up to 60
days to provide technical comments and provided those on July 3,
2013 to Nevada Copper. The Company will submit responses to the
NDEP comments by July 18, 2013. The technical items were minor
changes to drawings and emission information. Based on the timely
response by both NDEP and Nevada Copper, the Company expects to
receive this Air Pollution Control Permit in August 2013.
Issuance of both the Water Pollution Control Permit and Air
Pollution Control Permit are expected in August 2013.
Tim Dyhr, Vice-President of Environment and External Relations
for Nevada Copper, stated: "Nevada Copper has worked diligently
over the past six years with Nevada regulators to insure that the
Pumpkin Hollow project is protective of the environment. We have
now operated under the original 2008 permit for five years and have
developed a cooperative and transparent relationship with both the
local community and NDEP that has facilitated the receipt of these
permit modifications."
Nevada Copper currently holds an Air Quality Surface Area
Disturbance permit, so site civil work can commence at any time.
Shaft construction is included under previous permits and is well
underway. Detailed engineering for mining and processing is
progressing and the construction schedule can easily be
accommodated by the projected receipt of the last two permits
needed.
