Nevada Copper Corp. (TSX:NCU) provided an update on the Lyon County Economic Development and Conservation Act. If the Lyon County Bill passes, it will accelerate the permitting timeline for Nevada Copper’s Stage 2 Open Pit Mine at the company’s Pumpkin Hollow Project.
As quoted in the press release:
Nevada Congressman Mark Amodei and Congressman Steven Horsford continue to make the Lyon County Bill their top priority. In the Senate, both Nevada Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senator Dean Heller support the Lyon County Bill and are working together to make sure it gets passed as soon as possible on a bipartisan basis. Passage of the Lyon County Bill in 2014 would expedite the large Stage 2 open pit by 2-3 years with receipt of State permits in 2015. Stage 2 would add over 950 jobs to the Stage 1 Underground mine (450 jobs), creating a combined total of over 1,400 direct jobs and thousands of construction and indirect jobs in Lyon County, a county with the highest unemployment rate in Nevada (10.6%).
