Wolfden Announces Public Hearing Date for Pickett Project Rezoning

THUNDER BAY, ON / ACCESSWIRE / August 28, 2023 / Wolfden Resources Corporation (WLF.V) ("Wolfden" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Maine Land Use Planning Commission (LUPC) has set the date for a public hearing for the Company's Pickett Project rezoning application on October 16, 2023 in Millinocket, Maine. The LUPC has allowed for a three-day hearing process that will include expert testimony and opportunities for public comment. A final decision by the LUPC with respect to the application is expected within 90 days after the public hearing. The application proposes to rezone a 374 acre parcel of Wolfden's wholly owned 7,135 acre land holdings in the township of T6 R6 in North Eastern Maine, from a General Management (M-GN) designation to Planned Development (D-PD) to allow for the permitting, construction, operation and reclamation of a state of the art, small foot print underground metallic mineral mine in a manner that is fully protective of the environment.

"We are very pleased with the timing and the location of the public hearing venue, which is within 40 miles of the Pickett Project area," stated Jeremy Ouellette, VP Project Development for Wolfden. The venue was considered to be a practical location for those residents closest to, and most affected by the project." Many of the neighboring communities including Hersey, Moro Plantation, Patten, Sherman and Stacyville have already held their own town public meetings and passed by a public vote, ordinances or resolutions in support of the Project (see map below). As a lead up to the LUPC public hearing, the Company plans to continue its community outreach and communications through public meetings, our local office in Patten, and various forms of media.

The Project represents a significant opportunity for new economic growth in an area of the State where much of the economy is based on timber harvesting. Wolfden has been working with residents and businesses in the region via public meetings and information sessions to ensure that the Project is responsive to the needs of the region and will benefit the people who live and work there. The Project will be developed, operated, and reclaimed in accordance with the State's strict and modern mining regulations that will ensure full protection of the surrounding environment.
