Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. recently stated that it has received approval of the Noise Baseline Data Report (BDR) as complete from the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI). The Noise BDR’s purpose is to document the current noise levels at various locations close to the planned Grassy Mountain Mine, along the access road and at a neighboring campground before the commencement of mining procedures.
We continue to have a positive working relationship with the DOGAMI. We are in the process of completing revisions to the Geochemistry, Groundwater, Cultural and Wildlife final BDRs. Our goal remains to file both the Consolidated Permit Application to the DOGAMI and the updated Plan of Operation with the Bureau of Land Management in mid-2019.
