Royal Nickel Reports Permitting Advancement for Dumont

Royal Nickel Corporation (TSX:RNX) announced that a report from the Bureau d’audiences publiques sur l’environnement’s (BAPE) has been published in favour of the Dumont project. The report states that the project is acceptable, as long as the company implements adequate mitigation measures.

As quoted in the press release:

The BAPE report was recently submitted to the Quebec Minister of Sustainable Development, Environment and the Fight against Climate Change (“the Minister”). This report, along with the environmental assessment completed by the Ministry, will be taken into consideration by the Minister in order to formulate a recommendation on granting the main environmental permit for the Dumont project which is anticipated before the end of 2014.

Royal Nickel president and CEO, Mark Selby, said:

I am pleased that the BAPE report on the Dumont project has reached a positive conclusion. I believe the comprehensive and proactive approach taken by the RNC team throughout the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment and permitting process has been critical in advancing Dumont, which once developed would be one of Canada’s largest base metal mines, and demonstrates our commitment to effective community consultation, communication and transparency as core values in the development of Dumont.
