Feb 2012 Edgewater filed the Environmental Impact Statement with all the Galician authorities for Project development Environmental approval.
Dec 17, 2012 The Ministry of Environment Approved the Corcoesto Gold Project's Environmental Impact Statement (
see details here). The EIS represents the final step in the environmental permitting process to advance the Corcoesto Gold Project. This approval is a significant milestone for Edgewater and its shareholders, taking the Company one step closer to developing a new open pit gold mine in the autonomous region of Galicia. Galicia is an autonomous region within Spain and therefore permitting is assessed at the state and municipal levels.
Over the past 24 months and since the last 2012 resource calculation on Corcoesto Edgewater has completed +50,000m of infill drilling with excellent results including; 66.5m of 2.0g/t gold, 57.8m of 1.09g/t gold and 8.25m of 5.58g/t gold. In December 2012 Edgewater completed an additional 10,000m of infill drilling.
We believe small cap mining companies hinge on three key elements. For maximum success a company should have projects with upside potential or a pipeline of projects to develop; capital to implement plans with a manageable corporate structure that will allow for investment growth. Finally, a company should have an experienced team of mining professionals that understand entrepreneurial-ism with a blend of capital market, marketing and corporate development expertise. Edgewater's executive, board and advisory team has been accredited with discovering over 20 M ounces of gold and been directly involved in over $2 Billion in M&A transactions demonstrating a proven track record.
