Copperstone Resources: Request from the Mining Inspector on completion of
application for exploitation concession for Eva K nr 1.
Copperstone Resources (Copperstone or the Company) has, after consultation with
the Mining Inspectorate, received a formal request for a completion of the
application for exploitation concession regarding Eva K nr 1 in Arvidsjaur
municipality. The request for completion stems from the decision of the Swedish
Government to refer back the application to the Mining Inspectorate in June
2016. The completion shall be the Mining Inspector at hand by January 3, 2017
at the latest.
It is the assessment of the Company that the request from the Mining
Inspectorate to large extent is based on the ruling by the Supreme
Administrative Court regarding the application for exploitation concession
regarding Norra Kärr, which was applied for by another party. The Company also
assesses that the request does not imply any particular new addition to the
existing application, but is mainly a question of specifications and updating
of the aforementioned application.
Copperstone has already begun the work with the completions in order to
expedite delivery to the Mining Inspectorate and assesses that the prospect for
the Mining Inspectorate to repeat its recommendation to award an exploitation
concession Eva K nr 1 is good when the process has had its course.
“It is very positive that the Mining Inspectorate has processed the matter
rapidly and the Company will, in parallel with the work on Granliden and
Svartliden, execute the request” comments Copperstone CEO Per Storm.
