Barton Gold Holdings Limited announce that it has received approval for its Exploration Program for Environment Protection and Rehabilitation (E-PEPR) for its upcoming drilling programs at the Tunkillia Project. Part 10A of South Australia's Mining Act 1971 requires the holder of an exploration licence (EL) to have an approved E-PEPR in place prior to the commencement of any exploration activities. Approval is provided by South Australia's Department for Energy and Mining (DEM). The Company's approved E-PEPR provides for an open or ongoing approval period, where Barton will submit notifications prior to each new program of works. This allows a single E-PEPR to cover multiple drilling programs, reducing the need for multiple subsequent applications, and reducing administration and costs for the Company.
