Liberty Gold Advances Black Pine Permitting with Submission of Preliminary Cyanidation Design Report
Liberty submits the Idaho cyanidation design for Black Pine, keeping the project on track for a Q1 2027 permit application.
Liberty Gold Corp. (LGD) has submitted its Preliminary Cyanidation Design Report to the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (IDEQ). The filing outlines the proposed cyanidation facility, heap leach design, process water management, containment systems, and a groundwater monitoring framework.
The company has been accepted into the International Cyanide Management Institute (ICMI) and signed the International Cyanide Management Code, with plans to pursue pre-operational design certification.
Next steps include submitting the formal cyanidation permit application package to IDEQ, targeting Q1 2027. This submission aligns with the FAST-41 coordinated federal and state permitting schedule, which targets a Record of Decision (ROD) by early 2028. The feasibility study for Black Pine remains targeted for completion in Q4 2026.
Liberty Gold Corp. (LGD) submitted a preliminary cyanidation design report, marking an expected, incremental step in the regulatory approval process for the project. This submission aligns precisely with the previously announced FAST-41 permitting timeline and does not introduce new financials, strategic shifts, or unexpected delays. The milestone de-risks the project by demonstrating proactive environmental and operational planning, though it remains routine for a development-stage asset advancing toward a feasibility study and construction decision. The news is consistent with prior guidance and historical permitting progress.
Liberty Gold Corp. is a gold exploration and development company focused on the Black Pine Oxide Gold Project in southeastern Idaho. Black Pine is a 100% owned, large-scale, past-producing oxide gold deposit planned for run-of-mine (ROM) heap leach processing.
The 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate reports 4.88 million ounces of indicated gold (502.7 Mt @ 0.30 g/t Au) and 1.05 million ounces of inferred gold (157.1 Mt @ 0.21 g/t Au). A high-grade subset (0.50 g/t Au cut-off) contains 1.91 million ounces of indicated gold.
The project is advancing through feasibility-level engineering, metallurgical testing, and coordinated federal/state permitting under the FAST-41 framework.
