Coordinated Federal & State Permitting Schedule For Black Pine

VANCOUVER – Liberty Gold Corp. reported that a coordinated federal and state permitting schedule has been established for its Black Pine Oxide Gold Project, located in southeastern Idaho. The schedule has been posted to the United States (U.S.) government permitting dashboard, pursuant to the U.S. Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Committee Council FAST-41 federal permitting framework (FAST-41), which provides transparency on permitting milestones and timelines.
Following completion of a structured schedule review period with relevant federal and state of Idaho agencies, Black Pine now benefits from a clearly defined, interagency-aligned permitting timetable under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The schedule provides enhanced transparency into the federal and state review process, creates a series of defined and monitored milestones, and represents a definitive permitting pathway to advance the Project.
Black Pine is the first U.S. mining project to have both federal and state agencies aligned to a single, publicly disclosed permitting schedule under FAST-41. The schedule establishes a transparent and accountable framework, with participating agencies committing to defined timelines for permitting activities. Black Pine is one of a very limited number of mining projects designated with “Covered” status under FAST-41, reinforcing its importance within the U.S. domestic gold and critical minerals development pipeline. The coordinated schedule projects completion of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) under the NEPA process in less than two years.
