PolyMet Mining Corp. (TSX:POM)(NYSE MKT:PLM) ("PolyMet" or the
"Company") has been notified by the Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources ("MDNR") that ERM, the independent EIS Contractor, has
completed drafting the preliminary supplemental draft Environmental
Impact Statement ("EIS") analyzing PolyMet's 100%-owned
copper-nickel-precious metals NorthMet project located in the
established mining district of the Mesabi Iron Range in
northeastern Minnesota.
The NorthMet preliminary supplemental draft EIS will be reviewed
by the Co-Lead Agencies (MDNR, the US Army Corps of Engineers, and
the US Forest Service) and the Cooperating Agencies (the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency and the Bois Forte, Fond du Lac,
and Grand Portage Tribal Governments) prior to publication of the
supplemental draft EIS for public review later this summer.
"This is a very important step toward completion of the
environmental review and issuance of the permits we need to build
and operate the NorthMet Project," stated Jon Cherry, President and
CEO of PolyMet. "The Agencies and their EIS Contractor have been
engaged in very detailed review of the project design, which
includes several project modifications in response to public and
regulatory comments. The project modifications and improvements,
such as the addition of a Reverse Osmosis water treatment plant,
demonstrate our commitment to construct and operate NorthMet in a
way that protects the environment."
