TriStar Gold - LP Permit Received, Setting the Stage for Development

By: Newsfile

Scottsdale, Arizona--(Newsfile Corp. - August 29, 2024) - TriStar Gold Inc. (TSXV: TSG) (OTCQB: TSGZF) (the Company or TriStar) is pleased to announce that the Pará Secretariat for the Environment and Sustainability (SEMAS) has issued the Licença Prévia (Preliminary License or LP) for the Castelo de Sonhos gold project in Brazil.

"Following the previously announced approval by Pará State Environmental Council (COEMA) we have now received the LP, a true milestone for TriStar that derisks and sets us apart from many other mine developers. We are now ready to move forward, having the necessary permits in hand to advance the feasibility study, including the operating license for drilling and vegetation clearing authorization amongst others," says Nick Appleyard, TriStar's President and CEO. "We can all see that Brazil has become a major mine development hub, with more mines built recently than any other comparable jurisdiction. Given the success of G Mining, Hochschild Mining, Ero Copper and Aura Minerals, all of whom have permitted, built and are now operating fantastic mines in Brazil, I see Castelo de Sonhos as the next plus 100,000 ounce per year gold mine for Brazil, with all the benefits that will stream to the regional economy."

The Preliminary License (Licença Prévia in Portuguese) represents the first of a three-stage environmental licencing process required for mining projects in Brazil. The LP is the most critical stage of permitting as it involves input and approval from several government agencies as well as local stakeholders, communities and details the environmental, social, and economic impacts and benefits of the project.

Next steps for the Castelo de Sonhos project involve further de-risking studies including feasibility and advanced engineering, leading to an ultimate construction development decision.
