California Environmental Protection Agency's Central Valley Water Board Approves of Oro East's Reclassification Project at Carson Hill, Certifying Its Mining Waste as "Group C," Fully Compliant with Water Quality Codes

OAKLAND, Calif., Oct. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The California Environmental Protection Agency's Central Valley Water Board ("Water Board") approved Oro East's Carson Hill Mining Waste Reclassification Project in a memorandum issued by the Water Board on September 24, 2014.

The waste management unit stockpiles of gold concentrates (WMUs) at Carson Hill, one of the company's current gold production projects, consist of spent gold ore currently classified by the Water Board as "Group B mining waste." Group B mining waste is considered hazardous or contain soluble pollutants that exceed water quality objectives. Under Oro East's Reclassification Project, the spent gold ore would be processed into waste that qualifies for a reclassification to "Group C mining waste." Group C mining waste fully complies with water quality objectives and therefore fundamentally transforms the gold production process at Carson Hill into a green, environmentally-friendly, and sustainable process.
