[{"type":"text","content":" TORONTO, Aug. 05, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Troilus Gold Corp. (TSX: TLG; OTCQB: CHXMF) (“Troilus” or the “Company”) is proud to announce that it is the first mineral exploration company to obtain certification for UL 2723: ECOLOGO Certification Program for Mineral Exploration Companies (the “ECOLOGO Certification”). The Quebec Mineral Exploration Association (“QMEA”) launched a standard in November 2019 to recognize and promote environmental, social and economic best practices: the first certification of its kind for mineral exploration companies. The standard was adapted by Underwriters Laboratories (“UL”) to create the ECOLOGO Certification, which enables companies to communicate their commitment to the environment, human health, well-being of the community, and fair economic practices to both investors and stakeholders. UL, accredited by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), is an independent, safety testing, certification and inspection organization with a trusted name for more than 125 years. Troilus CEO and Director Justin Reid commented, “Being the first mineral exploration company to be awarded ECOLOGO Certification is a proud achievement for our company. Troilus benefits from a legacy of environmental stewardship, strong community ties and a commitment to sustainable development that we intend to continue as we move the project forward. The ECOLOGO certification demonstrates to our stakeholders and investors that a trusted third party has carefully evaluated our operations and procedures to validate our sustainable practices. We view our commitment to environmental, social and economic best practices as essential to building a successful company.” Valérie Filion, Executive Director of QMEA stated “The Quebec Mineral Exploration Association congratulates Troilus Gold Corp. for its ECOLOGO certification related to responsible development for mineral exploration companies. Troilus is the first mineral exploration company to complete all the necessary steps to comply with this new certification. This responds to the growing concern of stakeholders and investors towards our industry with regard to environmental standards and social acceptability of projects’’.
