EPM Mining Ventures Inc. ("EPM" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:EPK)(OTCQX:EPKMF)
today announced a key decision by the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA")
and the US Army Corps of Engineers ("Corps") determining that there are no
Waters of the United States on the Sevier Playa, the site of the Company's
Sulfate of Potash Project ("Project") in southwestern Utah. The Corps determined
that the Sevier Playa is not a regulated feature under Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act ("Act") and as such is exempt from the USACE's permitting requirements
under the Act. Therefore, certain federal permits relating to water will not be
required.


Lance D'Ambrosio, Chief Executive Officer of EPM, said; "We are very pleased
with this jurisdictional determination. This extremely positive decision by the
Corps will simplify our permitting process and result in significant savings of
time and money."


Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act
of 1899 makes the Corps responsible for regulating the discharge of dredge and
fill materials into waters of the United States. The Corps determined that the
Sevier Playa is an "intrastate isolated feature" with "no apparent interstate or
foreign commerce connection". Given the determination, the Company will be able
to conduct the work of developing trenches and evaporation ponds on the Sevier
Playa without the need for expensive USACE permitting and associated mitigation.
