Dundee Precious Metals Inc. (TSX:DPM)(TSX:DPM.WT)(TSX:DPM.WT.A) ("DPM" or "the
Company") is pleased to announce that the permitting process for its Krumovgrad
gold project in Bulgaria has taken another step forward. Following the
submission of the Company's new Environmental Impact Assessment Report ("EIA")
and Natura 2000 Compatibility Assessment Report ("CAR") for the Krumovgrad gold
project proposal to the Bulgarian Ministry of Environment and Waters ("MoEW"),
the MoEW has delivered a "positive grade" to both the EIA and associated CAR,
meaning all information required under the EIA Regulation is complete. 


Based on this positive assessment of the quality of the submissions, and in
compliance with the requirements under the Bulgarian environmental legislation,
DPM will commence the public dissemination of the EIA documentation which will
culminate with organized public hearings with the Krumovgrad Municipality and
other potentially affected municipalities or villages. It is anticipated that
the public hearings will be completed during the first quarter of 2011.


The new project scope for the Krumovgrad gold deposit involves a significantly
reduced operating footprint with one major landowner, one single integrated
tailings and mine waste facility, a simplified processing route that does not
require the use of cyanide and a longer operating life than previously
considered. The changes that have led to this new scope are based on community
feedback on the earlier project proposal. For this project the EIA permit and
compatibility with the European Union legislative requirement to protect
habitats and species are the only major environmental approvals required.
