Richard Gray, Chief Executive Officer commented: "The professional approach taken by the LLTNPPA's team has enabled a rigorous and diligent report to be concluded within the target timelines and a positive conclusion reached. It is also significant that the LLTNPPA have given consideration to both the employment created directly by the Bulk Processing Trial ("BPT") and indirectly by facilitating the full development of the Cononish Gold and Silver Project. With this permission now in place, the BPT can proceed with on site activities and the Company expects to release further news on this in the coming weeks."
