Project in Northern Maine in advance of Wolfden filing a rezoning application with the State to allow for the development of a state-of-the-art modern underground mining operation.The Towns of Stacyville and Hersey have voted overwhelmingly in favor (92%) of the Company proceeding with its mine permitting process and have expressed interest in hosting the operation's processing facilities and tailings storage facilities, subject to approvals from Maine's DEP and conditions respectively enumerated by the towns.Each Town represents an area of approximately 36 square miles and hosts numerous potential sites where infrastructure could be ideally located in a manner that avoids negative impacts to natural resources including, water, habitat, visual, noise, and air quality, amongst others. The Town of Hersey approved a Commercial/Industrial Mining Ordinance, and the Town of Stacyville passed a Town Resolution, both in favor of the project, that is planned and executed responsibly in accordance with State regulations. Maine's stringent regulations will ensure that any permitted mining operation is fully protective of the environment.\"I've met with Mr. Ouellette from Wolfden many times over the last three years and have developed a trust for the company. We believe that Chapter 200 provides the necessary environmental protections to make this a worthwhile project. Our (family) business is based on outdoor recreation and we see Wolfden as a good steward of that resource here in Northern Maine,\" stated Terry Thurston-Hill, Shin Pond Village, Mount Chase.\"Since day one, the Wolfden team has been nothing but straightforward with the people and businesses of the Patten region. I'm a small business owner and a town councillor in Patten and I vouch for the professionalism and character of this company and the project,\" stated Greg Smallwood, Patten Selectman and owner Smallwood Inc.\"We are very pleased with the outcome.
