BWR Exploration Inc. Commences Soil Remediation Program, Prepares Exploration Camp, Plans Financing
November 22 2022 - 9:01AM
BWR Exploration Inc. (the “Company” or “BWR”) (TSX.V: BWR) is
pleased to announce that it has initiated the soil remediation
program as recommended by the environmental consulting firm Pinchin
Ltd., approved by Manto Sipi Cree Nation (“MSCN”) Chief and Council
and authorized by Manitoba Department of Environment, Climate and
Parks (“MECP”). BWR representatives along with two members of the
MSCN community flew into the Little Stull Lake exploration camp in
early November and returned via helicopter on November 11, 2022,
after completing a significant portion of the soil remediation
program. The program was hampered by the onset of winter; it is
expected that the soil remediation program will resume in 2023. The
five-man crew also completed some necessary camp maintenance
including: repairing buildings, preparing the camp for winter, and
installing a new 20 kW diesel generator.
Soil Remediation program: On
November 1, 2022, BWR received authorization to proceed from MECP.
Immediate discussions were held between MSCN, BWR and Pinchin that
led to MSCN Chief and Council deciding that the remedial plan as
outlined in Pinchin’s Peer Review Report (“PR Report”) should
proceed, subject to a commitment from BWR to replace the
contaminated soil with uncontaminated soil from nearby soil mounds.
BWR proceeded with the soil remediation as recommended by Pinchin
and authorized by MECP, simply by removing contaminated soil and
putting it into 20 liter plastic pails, and sealing them for
transport to an accredited treatment/disposal facility. The PR
Report also recommended that additional soil samples be taken in an
area to the south and east of the previously delineated area, to
ensure that there are no further exceedances in hydrocarbon
analysis in an area that Pinchin determined was not previously
adequately sampled. Twenty additional ALS Chemex Terra
Core™ soil samples were selected from the area south and east
of the previously sampled area, as well as from a nearby soil mound
(~1 metre high, 10 metres long) to ensure that the mound of earth
could be utilized to cover the small area where the contaminated
soil was removed. The twenty soil samples have been submitted for
hydrocarbon analysis including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(PAHs) and will be reported upon when results are available. The
identified small mound of previously disturbed (circa 1985) soil,
if it is determined to be non-contaminated, will be used to replace
the excavated soil by spreading it over the exposed bedrock,
allowing nearby vegetation to spread and flourish.
Work Permit update: MSCN
leadership is continuing discussions with Manitoba Department of
Natural Resources and Northern Development to determine next steps
in the Consultation Roadmap, involving an in-community educational
primer that should facilitate a better understanding of early-stage
exploration processes to community members, that may ultimately
lead to consent on the issuance of a conditional work permit for
exploration to BWR.
Financing: The company is
currently planning a small financing to raise funds to bridge the
financial gap between now and when the exploration permit may be
issued (possibly as early as late 2022, or early 2023). BWR will
need to travel to the community and Winnipeg for further meetings
over the next few months, to continue discussions on the community
participation in the proposed exploration program and to formalize
salient points of how an exploration partnership will work for the
first year of exploration. The terms of this financing will be
respective of the share price after this news release is fully
disseminated.
