Mines Management Inc. (TSX:MGT,NYSEMKT:MGN) announced that the US Forest Service and Montana Department of Environmental Quality have issued a joint final environmental impact statement (FEIS) for the company’s Montanore silver-copper project.
As quoted in the press release:

Approval of the Final EIS is a major milestone in the conclusion of the Montanore’s permitting process. The project’s proposed plan of operations has undergone extensive review and analysis since the filing of its application in 2005. The Joint Final EIS includes many revisions from the project’s original plan based upon significant analysis and public input following review of two previous draft environmental impact statements which were issued respectively in 2009 and 2011.

Glenn M. Dobbs, chairman and CEO of Mines Management, commented:

A monumental amount of analysis, work, and thought has gone into designing a mining project that not only protects the environment, but also helps sensitive terrestrial and aquatic wildlife to flourish at a level that reflects concerns raised by the public and its desire to protect the environment. Completion of the Final EIS is the result of successful collaboration between the community, State and Federal government agencies, and the Company. We look forward to the timely issuance of the Final Records of Decision by USFS and the MDEQ. We are especially grateful for the overwhelming support from the community of Libby, Montana and the greater Lincoln County area, and we look forward to seeing the fruits of the many long term, high paying jobs the Montanore project will provide when development begins.
