USFS Accepts POO For The Jefferson Canyon Project

OTTAWA - Gold79 Mines Ltd. has received an Acceptance Letter from the United States Forest Service (USFS") for its Plan of Operations (POO) to explore the Jefferson Canyon Project in Nevada. The Acceptance Letter indicates that the USFS believes that the POO submitted is acceptable based upon studies and documentation submitted to date. The next steps include consultation with both the public and state heritage agency, along with other reviews, which are expected to be followed by a Record of Decision and bonding, before drilling can commence.

Derek Macpherson, President and CEO, said, "This is a positive step forward in the Jefferson Canyon permitting process; and, while we are not yet able to start drilling, we continue to make progress towards that end. It is important to note that while there is still a possibility that drilling could occur this year, the most likely scenario emerging is that the permitting process will not be completed in-time to drill in 2024."
