ENVIRONMENTAL APPROVAL: Lydians project in Armenia gets nod

ARMENIA – Lydian International of Toronto has received environmental approval from the Armenian government for heap leaching at its Amulsar gold project. The environmental impact assessment was prepared by Eco-Audit and submitted to the Ministry of Nature Protection last October.

The company has also submitted a mining production plan, safety plan and another EIA in connection with its planned mine development and production at the site.

"Amulsar will be the first completely modern mine adopting heap leach technology in Armenia. We are committed to making this an exemplary show-case project and something that the company, the local communities and the country can be proud of," said Lydian president and CEO Tim Coughlin in a news release.

The deposit at Amulsar contains over 3.0 million oz of gold. Learn more at LydianInternational.co.uk.
