Senda Resources said in a midday announcement that its controlled subsidiary
Sichuan Honglin Mining Co., Ltd. had the Caiyuanzi Copper-Gold Mine mining-area
engineering inspected on site by the Sichuan Provincial Emergency Management
Department, which organized relevant units and experts, and recently received a
Safety Production Permit issued by that department. With the permit, Honglin
Mining may commence mining operations in the Caiyuanzi mining area, and
underground workings will enter full-scale extraction.
