MINING PROPOSAL APPROVED FOR PILBARA COPPER-ZINC PROJECT
Highlights
-
Sulphur Springs Mining Proposal approval received from WA Department of Mines and Petroleum
-
Key government approvals now in place
-
Focus now on Project development strategy
Australian copper-zinc resources company, Venturex Resources Limited (“Venturex” or “the Company”) (ASX: VXR) is pleased to advise that the Mining Proposal for the development of the Pilbara Copper-Zinc Project at the Sulphur Springs site has been approved by the WA Department of Mines and Petroleum.
The granting of the Mining Proposal represents the final core government approval for the Pilbara Copper-Zinc Project, which is located in the western Pilbara region of Western Australia (Figures1&2).
The Mining Proposal, together with the Clearing Permit approval, the approval granted under the Federal Government’s Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) and the existing Mining Agreement with the traditional owners, are the key major approvals required for the ongoing development and implementation plan for the Project.
Commenting on the receipt of these key approvals, Venturex Managing Director Michael Mulroney said:
“The successful securing of these key approvals for the Sulphur Springs site is a significant milestone for both the development of the Project and the future of the Company. It’s a credit to the efforts of our Project group and the relevant Government authorities that the permitting process has occurred in a timely fashion.
“We have long identified permitting as one of the key determinants to the successful, and timely, development of the Project which is why the Company has, and will continue to, invest considerable time and resources in our relationships with all stakeholders involved with the Project.
“Our focus is now on advancing the Project’s development options as part of the Company’s drive to commercialise our extensive copper-zinc assets in the Pilbara region through 2014.”
