RIO TINTO EXPLORATION CANADA INC. RECEIVES PERMIT TO CONSTRUCT WINTER TRAIL ACCESS & WORK CAMP AT FORUM’S JANICE LAKE COPPER EXPLORATION PROJECT, SASKATCHEWAN
Rio Tinto Exploration Canada Inc. (RTEC) has advised Forum Energy Metals Corp. that permits to construct a 99-kilometre winter access trail and installation of a temporary 65-to-80-person-capacity work camp to support drilling and mineral exploration at Forum’s Janice Lake copper project in 2020 and 2021 have been granted by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment.
RTEC plans to commence construction of the winter access trail that will provide access to a new camp location to the northeast of Burbidge Lake. RTEC’s intent is to complete construction of the winter trail and mobilize camp, camp supplies and drilling equipment prior to spring break-up for proposed exploration work in 2020. The camp will be operated by RTEC for the sole use of personnel and contractors working on the Janice Lake copper exploration project.
RTEC can earn an 80% interest in the Janice Lake project by completing $30 million in exploration. Forum and RTEC’s technical teams will be meeting in the days ahead to begin detailed program planning in preparation for the next phase of exploration at Janice Lake. Further details and timelines will be announced when available.
