Canadian mining company Greystar Resources said a date has been set for the environmental impact public hearing for its main project, the Angostura gold and silver deposit in the north-eastern region of Colombia.

The Ministry of Environment, Housing and Territorial Development (MAVDT) said the hearing will be held on 21 November in the town of Santander.

Greystar will conduct two prior informational hearings in the department of Santander. The first meeting will take place in California, Santander on 3 November, and the second one will be held in Vetas on 4 November, 2010.

"We are pleased that a process leading to a final decision on the environmental permit for Angostura is advancing," said Greystar's president and chief executive officer, Steve Kesler.

Greystar is currently completing a feasibility study on its wholly owned, multi-million ounce Angostura gold-silver deposit in north-eastern Colombia.

A positive prefeasibility study announced on March 25, 2009 envisages average annual production at Angostura of 511,000 ounces of gold and 2.3m ounces of silver over a 15 year mine life.
