Nevsun Resources Ltd.: Bisha Update
Nevsun Resources Ltd. is pleased to advise that the Social and Environmental Impact Assessment (SEIA) for the Bisha Project located in Eritrea was presented to the Government of Eritrea in late December. The SEIA and draft Environmental Management Plan were prepared on behalf of the Company by AMEC Americas for the purpose of licensing the Bisha Project. The documents are under active review by both the Government’s technical advisor and the technical advisor to international financial institutions interested in providing project finance for the Bisha mine.
The Company has recruited the Project and Construction Manager for the Bisha Project, reporting to the General Manager for Eritrea, and has commenced the tendering process for an EPCM (engineering, procurement, construction and management) contractor.
