Tintina Resources Outlines Development Plans for Black Butte

Tintina Resources (TSXV:TAU) provided an update on development plans for its Johnny Lee copper deposit and flagship Black Butte Copper Project. This includes details regarding a tailings management facility for the project.
As quoted in the publication:

The Company has completed design level studies for both returning cemented tailings underground during ‘cut and fill’ mining as paste backfill, and storing the remainder of the cemented tailings in a double lined surface Cemented Tailings Facility (“CTF”).  The studies also include plans for reverse osmosis (“RO”) water treatment of all site waters, including precipitation run off water that comes into contact with the CTF, no discharge of water to surface, and complete mitigation of all beneficial water use by the operation.  The Mine Operating Permit (“MOP”) application scheduled for submission to the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (“DEQ”) later this year will include detailed studies in support of these designs.

Tintina president and CEO, Bruce Hooper, said:

We are excited to display our commitment to building one of the most environmentally sound copper developments worldwide.  Please come visit us on our tour days on the first of every month and visit our website to learn more.
