International Star Provides Plan of Operation Update

WILTON, CT / ACCESSWIRE / September 18, 2014 / International Star, Inc. (OTC Pink: ILST), provides Van Demeen project update.

The Plan of Operations has been submitted to the BLM. The Plan of Operations is a description of how ILST is proposing to conduct their operations and contains information unique to that particular operation. It is currently under technical review for completeness. Currently, ILST is working with the BLM to provide them information needed to complete the proposal. This is an iterative process. Once the Plan is accepted it will then be submitted for environmental review which is required under National Environmental Protection Agency (NEPA). It is this complete proposal that will constitute the proposed action in the NEPA analysis. It is only after the BLM conducts its environmental review that a determination can be made on whether the operator has proposed a Plan of Operations that would cause unnecessary or undue degradation to these lands.

A plan of operations and BLM's approval is required in Designated Areas of Critical Environmental Concern. The time for completion varies due to the complexity of each project, and while this project scope is relatively small, the plan must adequately address each of the issues that are raised during the technical and environmental review.

Because of the location of the Van Deemen Mine, in relationship to other natural concerns, the BLM has additional requirements that are site specific to this area. Currently, ILST is working with the BLM to provide them additional information needed to complete the proposal. To date, in addition to the original plan, we have submitted a map of the pit design, access roads and drilling and blasting requirements. We are also setting up appointments with BLM archaeology and biology managers to discuss their site specific requirements of the area for the baseline studies. In addition, a meeting is being set up with a crushing contractor for the specifications for a crushing circuit. Work is continuing on with other specific requirements needed by the BLM.

"This is an iterative process", explains Barbara Carroll, VP of Project Development. "The time for completion varies due to the complexity of each project and its location. While this project scope is relatively small, the plan of operation must adequately address each of the issues that are raised during the technical and environmental review before the BLM can approve the plan."
