The Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks has granted Galleon Gold Corp a Category 3 Permit to Take Water (PTTW) for its West Cache gold project, in Timmins, Ontario.

The PTTW includes comprehensive monitoring, reporting, mitigation and adaptive management conditions designed to ensure protection of surface water and groundwater resources. 

"With this approval secured, we are advancing the primary excavation of the boxcut, the gateway to underground access. Our bulk sample is central to our strategy, providing the opportunity to validate grade continuity, assess mining conditions and confirm critical economic assumptions. Successful execution of this programme will materially derisk the West Cache project and position Galleon Gold for its next phase of growth," says Galleon president and CEO David Russell.

Galleon notes that excavation of the boxcut will establish the portal location for ramp access at West Cache. Upon completion, the portal and the ramp will provide access for the company's planned 86 500 t bulk sample programme and underground exploration.
