COEUR D' ALENE, ID / ACCESSWIRE / December 5, 2022 / Sidney Resources Corporation, (OTC PINK:SDRC), an Idaho exploration and development company with leased and owned mineral rights claims in Idaho that is leading the development of transformative mining technology. Our cutting-edge laser-based unit, scheduled for testing at Colorado School of Mines in the first quarter of 2023, is designed to protect the environment through a significant reduction in the use of water and explosives during tunneling, stoping, and drilling operations. Our engineers estimate a reduction of traditional mining operating expenses by as great as forty percent. We project these cost savings will increase opportunities to access mineral supplies previously considered to lack a viable economic feasibility to recover to meet the mineral supply needs as we transition to clean energy.
We are pleased to announce the completion of our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Policy Statement. As we have established our ESG program, we are now focused on developing an ongoing set of activities and benchmarks which we can use to evolve these disclosures, engagement strategies and messages to ensure we remain at the forefront of ESG best practices.

SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS PRACTICES

We are developing transformative technology to ensure mineral supply needs to support the transition to clean energy are met while improving the health of our planet. We're committed to incorporating sustainability as a core value within our organization. We have actively engaged Federal, State, Local and Tribal Governments within our area of operations to build the networks necessary for the success of our goals and objects. We have identified a significant number of historic and/or abandoned mine sites near the town of Warren, Idaho where untreated mine water discharge is a major source of arsenic contamination in environmentally sensitive waterways.
Our mission is to create technology that reduces water consumption, pollution and reduce the carbon footprint of mining globally while improving the health and safety of employees.
These efforts in conjunction with our developing technologies and potential revolutionary smelt free refining processes can change the World recovers all Rare Earth Elements from ore in captive capacity that creates zero toxic or free radical waste to the environment. We believe these projects fall within the scope of the Federal Funding is programs under or related to the Securing America's Critical Minerals Act. We have been in discussion with the offices of Federal representatives. It is Sidney's closely held belief that our laser technology could be to the Secure America's Critical Minerals Act and through efficient and environmentally friendly technology it could be pivotal to the Nation's goals for autonomy in securing rare earth element for our Nation's security and energy needs.
