VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - September 16, 2014) - Meryllion Resources Corporation ("Meryllion" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: MYR) is pleased to announce that the relevant authorities in Mendoza Province have approved the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for planned drilling operations at its Cerro Amarillo Cu-(Mo-Au) project. The Company has been issued a Declaración de Impacto Ambiental (DIA) which has been submitted to the Provincial Congress for ratification. Following ratification, the Company will have all approvals required to proceed with its 2015 drill campaign. Meryllion is one of only two companies in Mendoza Province to have been issued a DIA by the Mendoza Provincial Government.
The Cerro Amarillo Project is located in the Department (County) of Malargüe in southern Mendoza province. The property covers an area of 168 km
Meryllion recently completed an exploration program of mapping, sampling, ground geophysics (induced polarization) and helicopter-borne magnetics and radiometrics over the property, and reported the results in a 43-101 Technical Report which can be viewed either on the Company's website (www.meryllionresources.com) or on the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com. Through the course of 2014, Meryllion has worked closely with the authorities both of the County of Malargüe as well as the provincial Ministry of Energy & Mines. It has complied with all requirements set out in federal and provincial laws and statutes as well as requests made in sectorial reports from the County of Malargüe and the provincial Departamento General de Irrigacion (Department of Water Affairs).
In Argentina, individual provinces regulate the mining law as defined by the federally enacted Mining Code, and provinces grant mineral rights and enforce compliance through additional provincial statutes. Under the Code, an EIR must be filed with, and approved by, the provincial mining authorities who then issue a DIA. Under Provincial Law 7722, Mendoza additionally requires that DIAs be ratified by provincial Congress. Accordingly, the approved DIA for the drilling program at Cerro Amarillo has now been submitted to Congress and awaits ratification.
"We are pleased with the enthusiastic support and cooperation that we have received from the authorities and representatives both in Malargüe and Mendoza as well as the federal Secretariat of Mines, and we are eagerly awaiting the outcome of the Congress' decision," commented Meryllion's CEO Terry Krepiakevich.
Meryllion's program at Cerro Amarillo is being supervised by Willem Fuchter, PhD PGeo, CEO of Meryllion's subsidiary in Argentina. Dr. Fuchter is a Member of the Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario ("APGO"), and is a qualified person in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. He has approved the data disclosed in this news release.
