Selwyn Receives Approval for ScoZinc Mine Expansion
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 05/23/12 -- Selwyn Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: SWN) ("Selwyn") is pleased to announce that on May 18, 2012, Nova Scotia Department of Environment (NSE) has issued an amended Industrial Approval allowing expansion of the existing mine to include the Southwest Expansion of the previously mined Main Pit.
Stephen Rea, President of Selwyn, stated, "We are very pleased the Nova Scotia government has approved the Southwest Expansion at the ScoZinc Mine. With this approval in hand, Selwyn can continue its efforts for financing the restart of operations at ScoZinc. Refurbishment of the mine facilities (see April 17, 2012 news release) have continued in anticipation of the receipt of the amended Industrial Approval."
On the basis of receiving the amended Industrial Approval, Selwyn can now access the balance of the $10 million debt facility established with Waterton Global Value, L.P. (see April 17, 2012 news release).
Selwyn's primary focus is the exploration and development of its properties that make up the Selwyn Project in the Yukon, which hosts large tonnages of zinc-lead mineralization. The known deposits at Selwyn Project have the potential for large scale production, and to provide a secure supply of zinc and lead to meet the future needs of the zinc and lead markets in Asia. The acquisition of ScoZinc Limited provides Selwyn with a second opportunity for growth and production revenues in 2012. The re-development of the ScoZinc Mine is a stepping stone for advancement of the Selwyn Project.
