Lincoln has a target date of 2015 for full-scale production from Kookaburra Gully, whose known resource inventory to date already puts it into the global Top Ten graphite deposits based on grade.
Parsons Brinckerhoff’s scope of services includes:
– Preparation of the mining lease proposal (MLP) report in support of the Mining Lease Application;
– Delivery of the required technical study components, either directly or through subconsultants appointed by Lincoln Minerals;
– Preparation and implementation of a Stakeholder Consultation Plan; and
– Meetings as necessary with DMITRE and other parties.
The mining lease proposal will require sufficient detail to be provided on the proposed open pit, tailings storage facility, processing plant, transport routes, water supply, power and other infrastructure to enable an assessment of the potential environmental impacts and mitigation and management measures.
AMC Consultants Pty Ltd is preparing a conceptual mine plan, EBS Ecology is undertaking flora, fauna and cultural heritage surveys and Aldam Geoscience is undertaking a groundwater study to support the MLP.
