TIRANA, June 16 – Canada-based Tirex Resources has announced it has received a final environmental permit and approval for its Rehova mining licence in the southeastern Albanian region of Korça.
“Tirex is pleased not only with the completion of this process but also with the outstanding support shown by the local communities. Over time, Tirex work at Rehova has the potential to create employment opportunities and infrastructure growth in the region,” said Tirex President, Fred Tejada.
Tirex acquired the Rehova mine property through an open tender process which the government of Albania held in January 2015. Winning the open tender gave Tirex the exclusive right to an initial 25-year mine license at Rehova. Tirex says it plans to commence confirmation drilling within Rehova to update the historic resources to current resources compliant with National Instrument 43-101 while also targeting an expansion of the known mineralized zones.
Rehova is a historically producing mining operation which was formerly operated by the Albanian state copper enterprise.
Tirex Resources Ltd. was formed to conduct mineral exploration and development activities in Albania. Recently, the company has announced plans to transition into production and has announced the approval of 6 separate 25 year mining licenses within the Mirdita VMS District.
