Southern Empire Resources (SMP) has advanced permitting at the Oro Cruz Project in California.

The U.S. Army’s Corps of Engineers issued an Approved Jurisdictional Determination for the project. This was conducted to identify how much authority the Corps of Engineers would have over the project site. The determination is valid for five years.

The U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management is seeking input concerning Southern Empire’s proposed surface exploration plans that proposes specific surface mineral exploration activities, disturbing up to 83,000 square metres within a 2,530,000 square metre portion of the Oro Cruz property.

CEO Dale Wallster sat down with Daniella Atkinson to discuss the news.

Southern Empire Resources is a Canadian company focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of metals and minerals deposits in North America. The Oro Cruz Project is located in Imperial County, California.
