TORONTO, May 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Generation Mining Limited (“GenMining“or the”Company”) (TSX:GENM OTCQB:GENMF) is pleased to announce that the public hearings conducted by the Joint Review Panel (the “Sign”) on the environmental impact study (“EIS”) of the Company’s Marathon Palladium-Copper Project (“Project”) concluded today.

The panel was established because the project requires environmental assessment approvals from the federal and provincial governments. The Company filed its EIA with the Commission in early 2021 and subsequently responded to the Commission’s written requests for information.

Panel hearings began on March 14, 2022. The hearing process required the Company to describe and explain key elements of the Project as described in the EIS and answer questions from participants. The process allowed for the participation of government agencies, non-governmental organizations, local and regional communities and indigenous groups. For example, the Biigtigong Nishnaabeg First Nation and the Town of Marathon, the two closest communities, participated extensively in the Commission’s hearing process.

Drew Anwyll, the company’s chief operating officer and panel chair at the panel hearings, said, “The Joint Review Panel process is among the highest standards in environmental assessment. in Canada. The project’s EIA and other evidence was rigorously reviewed by the panel and more than 50 participants. We welcomed this review and provided expert evidence which we believe demonstrates that the time for the project has come. Our EIA concludes that the project can be carried out without significant adverse environmental effects. The project will also contribute to the prosperity of local communities and the region. Once in production, the project will produce critical minerals from a sustainable and geopolitically stable jurisdiction for the benefit of local communities, Ontario and Canada.

The Company would like to thank all of the individuals and groups who participated in the hearings and would particularly like to thank the two communities closest to the Project: the Town of Marathon, who were strong supporters of the Project, and the Biigtigong Nishnaabeg First Nation community who cohesively balanced the potential project benefits to their community and the environmental protection of their claimed exclusive Aboriginal title lands.

Once the hearings are complete, the commission will complete and issue a recommendation report within 90 days. The report will document the Panel’s conclusion and recommendations on the EIA of the Project. This will constitute the recommendation to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change of Canada and the Minister of Environment, Conservation and Parks of Ontario, as to whether the project should proceed. Once the report is released, the federal and provincial ministers will issue the final environmental assessment approval decision for the project within 120 days, which is necessary for the project to move forward. If the project is approved, key permits are expected to progress to allow pre-construction to begin in the first quarter of 2023.

Drew Anwyll, Chief Operating Officer, will make a brief presentation and will be available to answer questions tomorrow Friday, May 20, 2022 at 9:30 a.m. EST (US and Canada). To register for the event, click here https://my.6ix.com/rCEm6Ct8.

The Company released the results of the feasibility study on March 3, 2021 and released the NI43-101 technical report dated March 25, 2021. The Marathon property covers a land package of approximately 22,000 hectares, or 220 square kilometers .
