(BWR: TSX.V) (the “Company” or “BWR”) is pleased to announce that active consultations continue with the Province of Manitoba and Manto Sipi Cree Nation (“MSCN”) and that a “draft” exploration work permit is being systematically reviewed by the Manitoba Permitting Office.

BWR further understands that this recommendation has also been communicated to MSCN leadership; MSCN may request further consultation to inform the Company and the Crown about project impacts and identify appropriate mitigation measures or accommodations, for possible inclusion in Permit conditions, prior to a comprehensive decision being made on Permit issuance.

Nevertheless, all conditions will need to be adhered to regarding many aspects of the proposed early-stage exploration program as outlined in the Permit.
