Provenance Gold Corp. announced that it has received the final drill permit from Oregon's Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) for drilling of its Eldorado gold property in Malheur County, Oregon. The project is located in sparsely populated saagebrush desert in mining friendly Eastern Oregon.

The Company had previously received permitting approval by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), on whose land the project is situated. Provenance plans to start its drilling program this spring, subject to field conditions following an unusually cold and snowy late winter, and subject to the timing of mobilizing the drill rig.
