Standard Metals Processing, Inc. announced today that the Nevada Department of Environmental Protection Bureau of Mines and Mining Reclamation conducted a site inspection of our Tonopah property in Esmeralda County, Nevada.
TCP has filed a Water Pollution Control permit application with NDEP for the approval of the permits necessary for a small-scale mineral processing facility planned for the Tonopah Property.
The site inspection was to ensure our compliance with NDEP's order to not initiate construction of the processing facility until our permits are received.
By letter dated November 6, 2014 and received by us November 15, 2014, NDEP stated that since we have not constructed the processing facility, there were no issues encountered with the inspection and we are urged to continue working to get the WPC permit on track for issuance.
Sharon Ullman, CEO of the Company stated, "I am glad that NDEP recognizes us as a good corporate citizen and in compliance with the rules and policies of NDEP as we continue the permitting application process."
