The company holds two existing Mining Licences and two associated Retention Licences, along with an extensive Exploration Licence, for the conduct of its operations. In addition Valence Industries is in the fortunate position of owning the land on which its current and proposed expanded operations are conducted along with the extensive existing infrastructure.
