Blackham Resources receives Matilda mining approvals
THE BOURSE WHISPERER: Blackham Resources (ASX: BLK) has received a number of approvals for the company’s Matilda gold project, located near Wiluna in Western Australia.
The company informed the market the WA Department of Mining and Petroleum approved both the Matilda and Wiluna Mining Proposals (including tailings dam designs).
Vegetation clearing permits have also been received over the entire mine plan, while the remaining Mining Proposal over the Williamson mine, which is scheduled to come on stream mining in the third year of operation, is well advanced.
Blackham was also granted the water extraction license over Galaxy by the WA Department of Water.
The Wiluna underground dewatering approvals remain in place and no objections were made to the Matilda and Williamson pit dewatering proposals.
The company lodged an amendment to the existing Wiluna Environmental License in February 2016.
“The company is working very closely with the Department of Environment and Regulation to ensure its timely approval,” Blackham Resources said in its ASX announcement.
“Blackham is currently on track to mobilise both the Matilda open pit mining contractor and the Golden Age underground mining contractor next month.
“Gold production from the Matilda gold project is on track for the Sept 2016 quarter.”
