Doré Copper Announces its Preparation Plans to Dewater the Former Joe Mann Gold Mine and Cedar Bay Copper-Gold Mine - Seite 2

Following the positive results of the water samples, Doré Copper will commence the design of the dewatering programs. This assessment will include the costs and timelines of the dewatering, water treatment process, final treated water destination and precipitate disposal for each mine. The work is expected to be completed by year-end. 

Concurrently with the assessment, the Corporation will be submitting in April an application for attestation of exemption (demande d’attestation de non-assujettissement) to the Québec Ministry of Environment and Fight Against Climate Change. Subject to this approval, the Company would proceed to the second step, which is the application to the regional MELCC under Article 22. It is expected that approval would be received within six to eight months.

The Corporation contracted BluMetric Environmental Inc. out of Montreal to sample and analyze the water from both shafts.

Ernest Mast, Eng., President and CEO of the Company and a "Qualified Person" within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical information contained in this news release.
