Corridor Environmental Assessment for Exploration Licence 1105 Filed with Independent Reviewer

For Immediate Release
December 22, 2011

On December 20, 2011, Corridor Resources Inc filed its updated Environmental Assessment of the Old Harry Prospect Exploration Drilling Program along with the Old Harry Drilling Mud and Cuttings Dispersion Modeling Final Report and Modeling in Support of Corridor Resources Old Harry Exploratory Drilling Environmental Assessment with the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board (C-NLOPB). The C-NLOPB has determined that the environmental assessment (EA) documents adequately address the Corridor Resources Inc. Exploratory Drilling Program on the Old Harry Prospect, Exploration Licence 1105 Scoping Document and has filed them with the Independent Reviewer, Mr. Bernard Richard, so that he may solicit public comment upon the documents.

Corridor submitted its original EA documents to the C-NLOPB on October 28, 2011. The C-NLOPB reviewed the information to determine whether it was sufficient in respect of the Scoping Document, and requested additional information from the Proponent on November 10, 2011. Corridor replied on December 13, 2011 indicating how it proposed to update its EA documents to address this request, and following discussions with C-NLOPB staff, amended its proposal on December 15, 2011. Based upon the latter information, the C-NLOPB believes the Proponent’s EA documents are sufficiently complete to initiate the Independent Review process.

The Environmental Assessment filed with Mr. Richard is available in English and French on the C-NLOPB website.
