Torex Gold Receives Key Environmental Permit for Media Luna
03 Octubre 2022 - 5:00PM
Torex Gold Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “Torex”) (TSX: TXG)
announces the Company has received approval from Mexico’s
Secretariat of Environmental and Natural Resources (“SEMARNAT”) on
the key, culminating environmental permit for the Media Luna
Project. The approval (“MIA Integral”) allows for operations to
begin at Media Luna and builds on the receipt of the MIA
Modification received last year, which allowed for the execution of
development activities on the south side of the Balsas River. The
Company has also received approval to increase the power draw at
site to 45 megawatts (“MW”).
Jody Kuzenko, President & CEO of Torex,
stated:
“Receipt of the MIA Integral represents another
key milestone in the de-risking of the Media Luna Project, and
further demonstrates the ongoing support of local communities and
the endorsement of State and Federal Governments of both the social
and environmental facets of this project.
“The MIA Integral follows on the MIA
Modification and Change of Land Use permits received over the last
two years and integrates our environmental requirements on both
sides of the Balsas River under a single authorization. With the
MIA Integral in hand, the Company now has all the environmental
approvals required to develop and operate Media Luna. Discussions
about future in-pit tailings deposition and expanding the
exploration boundaries are ongoing.
“The Company also recently received approval to
increase the power draw at Morelos to 45 MW to accommodate
activities at both ELG and Media Luna. Discussions with the utility
authorities to further increase the power draw to 65 MW, required
to sustainably deliver full production at Media Luna, are in
process as well.” ABOUT TOREX GOLD RESOURCES
