EDM Resources Inc. (TSXV: EDM) is pleased to announce that it continues to make significant progress for a restart of operations at the Scotia Mine. The company, under the leadership of Mr. Mark Haywood, President & CEO, is diligently working on an extensive range of tasks to advance the Scotia Mine towards production.
One of the major tasks currently being undertaken by the EDM teams is the completion of the application to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO). This is a crucial step in the permitting process, and the company is committed to ensuring all necessary requirements are met.
In addition to the DFO application, EDM is actively engaged in various other important steps. These include the completion of all seasons of sampling for Atlantic Salmon DNA, as required by the DFO, and ongoing reconnaissance work to identify potential locations for stream and/or river restoration, which is part of the fish habitat offsetting plan.
EDM is also prioritizing its engagement with First Nation Stakeholders in Nova Scotia as part of its social license initiatives for restarting the Scotia Mine. The company recognizes the importance of building strong relationships and ensuring the inclusion of local communities in its operations.
Furthermore, EDM is conducting ongoing surface and ground water modeling as part of the DFO application process. This demonstrates the company’s commitment to environmental stewardship and responsible mining practices.
To support the geotechnical assessment work prior to mine production, EDM is preparing Mine Plans. This step is crucial in ensuring the safety and efficiency of operations at the Scotia Mine.
In line with its commitment to transparency and communication, EDM has launched its new company website at www.EDMresources.com. This platform will serve as a valuable resource for stakeholders, providing up-to-date information about the company’s activities and progress.
Lastly, EDM is conducting a preliminary assessment of high-grade ores for the Density Media Separation pilot plant testing. The results of the DMS Study are expected to be available in mid-September, further contributing to the company’s understanding of the resource potential at the Scotia Mine.
