Vancouver, BC - Astur Gold Corp. (TSX-V: AST, Frankfurt: CDC) ('Astur Gold'
or the 'Company') is pleased to announce that the complete list of required
criteria and enhancements have been received from the Directorate General
of Environment following the preliminary stakeholder consultation process
regarding Astur Gold's Salave gold project in Northern Spain. The response
outlines additional items to complete the Environmental Impact Assessment
('EIA') that the Company must submit in accordance with the permitting
process for Salave, and includes comments from environmental, urban, and
cultural organizations, as well as NGOs and other affected stakeholders.
CONGEO, an Asturias-based environmental consulting company with an
extensive background in mining projects, is leading all field studies and
related activities necessary for completion of the EIA. They are currently
working with the Astur Gold technical team to identify remaining inputs for
the EIA report, and are diligently working towards the finalization of a
new detailed EIA report that will completely consider all environmental
aspects of project development and fulfill all statutory requirements. The
EIA is approximately 98% complete and expected to be submitted to the
Directorate General of Mining and Industry within 30 days.
