Collaborative efforts with the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) have resulted in the recent execution of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and a Cost Recovery Agreement. Additionally, the selection and approval of a third-party contractor for the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process was also received from the USFS and Bureau of Land Management (BLM).

These accomplishments mark critical steps in the company’s ongoing efforts to advance Black Pine towards feasibility and an eventual construction decision, while ensuring compliance with federal and state environmental standards and maintaining a collaborative engagement with stakeholders.

Matt Zietlow, Director, Regulatory Affairs and Sustainability, of Liberty Gold, said: “We are pleased to formalise our collaboration with the U.S. Forest Service and look forward to advancing the NEPA process with an experienced third-party contractor approved by both lead federal agencies. These developments underscore our commitment to working closely with federal regulators to ensure a thorough and transparent permitting process that meets the highest environmental and regulatory standards. Our progress in permitting brings us closer to unlocking the significant value of our flagship project and aligns with our commitment to environmental responsibility and stakeholder engagement.”
