Matilda Mining Approvals
Perth, May 16, 2016 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Blackham Resources Ltd (
ASX:BLK) is pleased to announce it has gained a number of approvals for the Matilda Gold Project.
The Department of Mining and Petroleum has now approved the Matilda Mine and Wiluna Mining Proposals (including tailings dam designs). Vegetation clearing permits have also been received over the entire mine plan. The remaining Mining Proposal over the Williamson Mine (scheduled for mining in year 3) is well advanced.
The Department of Water has granted the water extraction license over Galaxy. The Wiluna underground dewatering approvals remain in place. No objections were made to the Matilda and Williamson pit dewatering proposals.
