For Immediate Release
ENGINEER GOLD RECEIVES AMENDED ENGINEER GOLD MINE
DE-WATERING PERMIT & DRILLING HAS COMMENCED
Vancouver, B.C., July 23, 2019 . Engineer Gold Mines Ltd. ( EAU: TSX -V) (“Engineer
Gold”, the “Company”) announces that the Company has r eceived a n amend ed mine water
discharge permit from the British Columbia Ministry of Environment and Climate Change
Strategy, under the Provisions of the Environmental Management Act, for its 100% owned
historic Engineer Gold Mine, situated 32 k m southwest of Atlin, B.C. Complete mine
dewatering will commence this week. Engineer Gold also reports that the previously announced
surface diamond drilling program has now commenced and the u nderground exploration plans
will be announced as dewatering progresses.
The amended permit provides for groundwater discharge from the Engineer Gold Mine and
complete mine de-watering, as required, to provide access for underground exploration, diamond
drilling, development, test mining and bulk sampling.
The amended permit also authorizes the discharge of effluent from the Company’s 50 tonne per
day gravity separation gold mill into the tailings pond , all subject to a number of specific
requirements.
The water discharge permit is the last critical component for continued underground exploration
and development at the fully permitted small-scale, high-grade Engineer Gold Mine. The mine
was last dewatered to 7 Level by BCGold Corp. in 2012, as follow -up to a successful 2011
underground bulk sampling and on-site milling pro gram. Ampex Mining Ltd. has been on -site
since late June, 2019, making preparations to dewater the lowermost 3 mine levels (Levels 6-8).
The Company is also pleased to report that surface diamond drilling has commenced at Engineer
Gold Mine. The 3,000 -meter, Phase I surface and underground diamond drill program will
target a number of new, near-mine high-grade gold vein, bulk-tonnage shear and intrusive-hosted
gold exploration targets. The drill is currently set up on the Jersey Lilly Vein, which has nev er
been drilled, and has a number of high -grade gold assays from historic underground exploration
on Mine levels 5 and 8.
