West High Yield (W.H.Y.) Resources Ltd. Announces BC Government Mining Permit Work Plan Timelines
Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - October 10, 2024) - West High Yield (W.H.Y.) Resources Ltd. (TSXV: WHY) (the "Company" or "West High Yield") is pleased to announce that it has received its most updated written work plan timelines (link to the timelines) from the British Columbia Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation (the "EMLI") regarding the Company's mineral extraction project (the "Project") pertaining to the Record Ridge Industrial Minerals Mine (the "RRIMM") permit process. While the EMLI indicated that these dates could be subject to adjustments, the Company is optimistic that the process is on track for a potential permit issuance by early December, 2024.
The Company remains committed to addressing any further requests or comments promptly stemming from the review by the British Columbia Mine Development Review Committee (the "MDRC") of its latest RRIMM amended permit submission. West High Yield continues to work closely with the Project stakeholders and regulatory authorities to ensure that the process proceeds efficiently.
The Company provides this as a reminder that the revised Project does not trigger the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Act Reviewable Project Regulations and therefore does not require an environmental assessment prior to obtaining permits for the construction and operation of the RRIMM. Permits are anticipated to be received following the completion of the MDRC process as outlined in the Company's news release dated August 29, 2024.
