NorZinc (NZC) has received management plan approvals for road construction at the Prairie Creek Project.

The approval was issued by the Government of the Northwest Territories and the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board.

The company expects management plan approval from Parks Canada by the end of this month. A portion of Prairie’s access road will pass through the Nahanni National Park Reserve, which requires Parks’ approval.

Upon Parks’ approval, NorZinc will initiate construction of its Pioneer Winter Road, which represents phase 1 of Prairie’s all-season access road.

The beginning of construction marks the first land access to the project in 40 years.

“The company remains committed to the responsible development and mining at Prairie Creek to deliver significant economic and social benefits to the local communities who are our partners in this process,” stated Rohan Hazelton, NorZinc’s President and CEO.

NorZinc is a mine development company focused on its high-grade zinc-silver-lead Prairie Creek Project in the Northwest Territories.

NorZinc (NZC) opened unchanged, trading at $0.035 per share.
