EPM Mining Announces Important Environmental Impact Statement
Milestone for Its Sevier Lake Playa Sulphate of Potash Project
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Mar 12, 2014) - EPM Mining
Ventures Inc. (TSX-VENTURE:EPK)(OTCQX:EPKMF) ("EPM" or the
"Company") announced today that the Bureau of Land Management
("BLM") Utah Fillmore Field Office published in the Federal
Register its intent to prepare an Environmental Impact
Statement (the "EIS") for the Company's Sevier Lake Playa Sulphate
of Potash Project located in southwestern Utah.
"The Federal Register announcement is the official start of
BLM's EIS process," said Lance D'Ambrosio, Chief Executive Officer
of EPM. "This is a major milestone for our project and represents
the culmination of much time and effort. We anticipate a smooth and
timely EIS process and look forward to working with the community
and all other stakeholders."
During the initial public scoping period, which begins with the
Federal Register announcement, the BLM will seek input to determine
relevant issues that will guide the process for developing the EIS
and influence the scope of the analysis, including potential
alternatives. An approved EIS Record of Decision ("ROD") allows for
final approval of the BLM Mining Plan. Construction of EPM's
project can commence once there is an approved EIS ROD and an
approved Mining Plan.
