Halifax, Nova Scotia, Mar 30, 2016 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Bear Paw Pipeline Corporation Inc. (Bear Paw), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Liquefied Natural Gas Limited (LNGL) (googlechartASX:LNG) (googlechartLNGLY:OTCMKTS), is pleased to announce that today it has registered its Environmental Assessment (EA) with Nova Scotia Environment. Bear Paw is proposing to construct and operate a 62.5 km natural gas pipeline from Goldboro to the proposed Bear Head LNG liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility in Point Tupper, Richmond County, Nova Scotia. The Goldboro to Point Tupper pipeline connects Bear Head LNG to the North American natural gas pipeline network.

"We are committed to completing the Bear Paw pipeline project in a manner that protects the natural and cultural environment," said Maurice Brand, President of Bear Paw. "We are putting all the elements in place, with Bear Paw pipeline being one of them, to develop a successful LNG export facility on Cape Breton Island."

Bear Paw regulatory, permitting, and certain other costs were contemplated in LNGL's previously disclosed three-year cash management plan. Expenditures for construction of the pipeline shall commence only after financial close of the Bear Head LNG project.

"Bear Paw continues to be a positive contributor to the local economy. Bear Paw's investment in pipeline infrastructure will benefit the community, region, and province by creating new jobs and provide economic opportunity through the use of local goods and services. The submission of our EA is another step in achieving that goal," Brand noted. "We thank the landowners, Mi'kmaq, municipalities, and other stakeholders in the community for their continued support in advancing our project."

The public is invited to submit comments on the EA during the comment period, which commenced today and will continue until April 29. The EA is available for review online at (www.novascotia.ca/nse/ea) and copies are available at the offices of the Guysborough Municipality, James and Mary Rhynold's in Stormont, Nova Scotia Environment's Port Hawkesbury and Antigonish offices, and Bear Paw's office in Point Tupper.

In December 2015, pursuant to the Pipeline Act, Bear Paw filed an application with the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board to obtain a "Permit to Construct" for a natural gas pipeline and related facilities. Public hearings will begin on 9 May 2016 at the Port Hawkesbury Civic Centre.
