Image’s Atlas mining proposal approved
ASX-listed Image Resources has received approval of the mining proposal for its 100%-owned Atlas mineral sands project, located 170 km north of Perth in the North Perth basin.
The mining proposal covers the construction and operation of the Atlas project.
Image has also received notice of the proposed conditions for approval of the Atlas development proposal under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act.
The company says it has provided its response on the proposed conditions and final Commonwealth approval is expected in early August.
The remaining required approvals for the project include the groundwater operating strategy (GOS), an Offset Environmental Management Plan (OEMP) and the Banksia Woodlands Rehabilitation Environmental Management Plan (BWREMP).
Approval of the GOS, the OEMP and the BWREMP are expected early in August, which will allow for the start of construction at Atlas in the third quarter.
The company explains that approval of the GOS will result in the project being awarded a water abstraction licence.
"Scheduling of contractor mobilisation to Atlas is progressing in anticipation of receipt of the final permits in August and the start of project construction.
“Early works camp construction is well under way and deconstruction of the Boonanarring wet concentrator plant has been initiated. The next six months are slated to see a flurry of construction activities, with a stretch goal of commencing project commissioning at the end of December,” says MD and CEO Patrick Mutz.
