Water Permit
Iofina, specialists in the exploration and production of iodine and iodine specialty chemical derivatives, has received from the Montana Department of Natural Resource Conservation ("DNRC") Water Resources Office, the determination of its water rights application. The determination states that the application did not meet certain criteria set out in state code 85-2-311.
The application will require additional information, primarily with respect to offtake engineering and beneficial use of the water. The additional data required is being reviewed with the Company's retained consultants to enable the Company to respond to the DNRC within the 15 days allowed to schedule a follow up meeting to review the application.
The Montana water project remains a non-core project within the Iofina portfolio of businesses.
