| ABSTRACT: | VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 20, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Western Resources Corp. (TSX:WRX) (FSE:WR0) (“Western” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, Western Potash Corp. has received Environmental Assessment Approval from Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment (‘the Ministry”) for the Milestone Phase I Project (“the Phase l Project,” previously “the Pilot Project”). As reported in its 21/12/2016 news release, Western Potash Corp received a final engineering report from AMEC Foster Wheeler and Agapito Associates Inc. for the proposed Milestone Phase l Plant Project. The Phase l Project was subject to review under The Environmental Assessment Act which is regulated by the Ministry. The initial Phase l Project design was based on a Scoping Study and was approved by the Ministry in 2015. Following changes to the Scoping Study design, namely the introduction of a crystallization pond for potash recovery and the plant site location, Western Potash re-submitted the project design for review by the Ministry. Subsequently, the Ministry has determined that no Environmental Impact Assessment for the Phase l Project will be required. Western Potash is therefore authorized to proceed with the construction of the Phase l Project subject to regulatory permitting requirements. Mr. Bill Xue, President and CEO of Western Resources, commented, “We are very pleased to have received the Environmental Assessment approval from the Government of Saskatchewan to proceed with the Milestone Phase I Project. We fully appreciate the cooperation that we have received from the Government of Saskatchewan and the local Rural Municipality as we continue to move the Milestone Project towards construction and operation.” | |
