Liberty Gold Corp. (TSX: LGD; OTCQX: LGDTF) (“Liberty Gold” or the
“Company”) is pleased to announce the receipt of the 2022
Environmental Excellence Award from the State of Utah Department of
Natural Resources, Division of Oil, Gas and Mining on June 22,
2022, from Chris D. Hansen, Board Chairman. The award acknowledges
the Company’s innovative use of GIS, LIDAR and other technology in
reclamation efforts at its Goldstrike Oxide Gold Property in
southwestern Utah.
Gerald Heston, Environmental and GIS Manager,
made a formal presentation to the Board of the State of Utah,
Division of Oil, Gas and Mining on April 27th and received the
award on behalf of Pilot Goldstrike, Inc.
Liberty Gold’s innovative use of GIS and other
technology to track exploration build and reclamation goes above
and beyond industry standards and state regulations. Extensive GIS
and 3D modeling tools help us plan out our projects, make efficient
use of resources, minimize disturbance, and avoid environmental
problems. The processes of exploration and reclamation operate in
sync with each other and include returning slope topography to its
natural state and re-seeding and replanting in line with
appropriate plant species on each project. The Utah Division of
Oil, Gas and Mining is recommending that other operators use
Liberty Gold’s model for their work.
Pete Shabestari, Vice President of Operations,
Great Basin Manger, stated, “Gerald has been instrumental in going
above and beyond in his innovative use of GIS and mapping to track
in the reclamation process at the Goldstrike Oxide Gold Deposit in
Washington County, Utah. The entire team thanks you for your
commitment, dedication, and leadership in environmental
stewardship.”
Jon Gilligan, Chief Operating Officer, stated,
“Liberty Gold’s reclamation efforts and outcomes are unique in the
Great Basin. We reclaim land we have disturbed through exploration
as quickly as possible, ensuring the ground is returned to its
original state or better. Gerald was instrumental in developing our
GIS system to track these activities and provide full transparency
to the authorities. As a Great Basin oxide gold exploration and
development company we are proud of our environmental record and
see this as another step in our evolving ESG journey.”
ABOUT LIBERTY GOLDLiberty Gold
is focused on exploring for and developing open pit oxide deposits
in the Great Basin of the United States, home to large-scale gold
projects that are ideal for open-pit mining. This region is one of
the most prolific gold-producing regions in the world and stretches
across Nevada and into Idaho and Utah. We know the Great Basin and
are driven to discover and advance big gold deposits that can be
mined profitably in open-pit scenarios. Our flagship projects are
Black Pine in Idaho and Goldstrike in Utah, both past- producing
open-pit mines, where previous operators only scratched the
surface.
