Final Permit Required To Restart The Johnson Camp Mine

PHOENIX, AZ - Excelsior Mining Corp. has received all permits to commence operations at the Johnson Camp Mine (JCM) in southeast Arizona. First copper production is anticipated in H1 of 2025.

Excelsior received the amended Mined Land Reclamation Plan (MLRP) approval from the State of Arizona. The MLRP, along with the recently approved Air Quality Permit (AQP) and the Aquifer Protection Permit (APP), means that all approvals needed to start the production of copper at JCM have been received.

"This final permit is a key milestone bringing us one step closer to copper production at JCM. We believe the partnership with Nuton LLC for the first industrial-scale deployment of their sulfide leaching technology, combined with the oxide ore production, generates an exciting opportunity for both organizations and the wider copper industry," said Robert Winton, Senior Vice President Operation & GM. "Excelsior's local and state engagement continues to deliver opportunity in Southeastern Arizona."
