Astra Exploration Inc. has announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Astra Exploration Chile SpA, has received approval of its Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the Pampa Paciencia project in northern Chile.
CEO Brian Miller commented:
“Securing the approved EIA is an important milestone for Astra which allows us to extensively explore the gold-silver epithermal system and focus on expanding its size. Importantly, Astra is readily able to conduct geophysical surveys and drilling operations on the entirety of the Paciencia District claim group, which hosts several kilometres of untested epithermal vein targets and a large porphyry copper target. The permitting process went as expected and concluded on schedule, and we are excited to proceed with further geophysics and drilling as soon as possible.”
