Eros Provides Update on Bell Mountain Gold-Silver
Deposit and Director Resignation
Vancouver, BC (November 21, 2018) Eros Resources Corp. (TSX.V: ERC) (“Eros” or the
“Company”) and our 100% owned subsidiary Bell Mountain Exploration Corp. are pleased to
update our shareholders with regard to our Bell Mountain gold -silver project in Churchill
County, Nevada.
Two years ago the U.S. Department of the Navy issued a notice of its int ent to conduct an
environmental impact statement (“EIS”) regarding the proposed expansion of the Fallon Range
Training Complex on lands administered by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (“ BLM”).
The Company’s Bell Mountain project falls within the immedi ate vicinity of the proposed
expansion and was subjected to a two-year moratorium on any new work to advance the
project.
The initial two -year moratorium expired on September 1, 2018 but was extended for an
additional four years of mineral withdrawal whil e the Navy completes its EIS. This extension
was announced in the U.S. Federal Register on August 31, 2018. Owing to special efforts by
Company staff and consultants, the Bell Mountain project was specifically listed as exempt
from the new withdrawal notice. Although certain Navy restrictions are expected to affect the
project, the exemption allows for the project to advance in the near term.
A Mine Plan of Operation (“MPO”) based on existing information was submitted to the BLM in
late August, prior to the new four-year withdrawal notice. The Company has since responded
to BLM comments on the MPO. Also submitted to the BLM are applications for a water pipeline
right-of-way and road access right -of-way to the property . The Company is awaiting
administrative approval by the BLM of these three key applications . The Company is also
working to address permitting and engineering requirements of the Bureau of Mining
Regulation and Reclamation under the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection. Eros’
conceptual mine plan is available on the Company’s website at www.erosresourcescorp.com
under the Bell Mountain project, Technical Reports and Presentations.
Environmental baseline studies and permitting support for the Bell Mountain project are being
provided by Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. (Reno, Nevada). Engineering support is being
provided by Welsh Hagen Associates (Reno, Nevada).
The Company also wishes to advise that Don Siemens has resigned as Director of the
Company to pursue other professional activities. We wish to thank Mr. Siemens for the
significant contributions he has made as a Director since being elected by shareholders in 2013
and we wish him well in his endeavours.
Mr. Jeffrey Wilson is a consulting geologist to the Company based in Carson City, Nevada.
Mr. Wilson is a "qualified person" under NI 43 -101, and has reviewed and approved the scientific
and technical information contained in this news release.
