| ABSTRACT: | CALGARY, Alberta, May 17, 2019 -- Canadian Premium Sand Inc. (TSXV:CPS) (“CPS” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce today that the government of Manitoba has approved the environmental licence necessary for the development of the Company's Wanipigow Silica Sand Extraction Project (the "Wanipigow Sand Project") near Seymourville, Manitoba and adjacent to Hollow Water First Nation reserve lands. The approval of an environmental licence followed a rigorous environmental assessment process that focused on the mitigation of potential impacts the Wanipigow Sand Project might have on the local environment and communities. The licence issued under The Environment Act contains specific conditions to address public concerns. The Company notes that Manitoba also completed a Crown-Indigenous consultation process as part of the overall Wanipigow Sand Project environmental licence review process. That consultation process provided local Indigenous communities with an additional opportunity to become engaged and informed about the Wanipigow Sand Project and share any comments, concerns and recommendations to protect Indigenous rights and environmental interests. Hollow Water First Nation Chief Larry Barker states, “We respect the concerns of our community and have worked diligently with CPS to develop detailed plans that address health concerns and restore the land immediately after quarrying. More than 9 months ago our Elders began meeting frequently with the Company to address their concerns as well. As a result, the processing facility will be completely enclosed to eliminate dust and restoration plans will be monitored by a community-based oversight committee. This project combines with other economic development opportunities we have been working on that will create jobs and help provide a better future for our community." As a significant portion of the Wanipigow Sand Project site area falls within the jurisdictional boundaries of the Incorporated Community of Seymourville, the Company made a conditional use application to the Incorporated Community of Seymourville, in order to be able to use lands within the jurisdiction of Seymourville for a silica sand extraction operation. The Company is pleased to report that the Incorporated Community of Seymourville granted approval of its conditional use application on May 9, 2019, permitting a silica sand extraction operation, including accessory uses, buildings and structures | |
