The company’s application also included the necessary environmental and infrastructure approvals, evaluated by the Department of State Development and other agencies.
The proposal for the recommencement of nickel mining and processing operations at the Mt Windarra site includes the construction of a nickel flotation concentrator plant, construction of a gold tailings re-treatment facility and the installation of in-pit tailings deposition via a slurry pipeline to South Windarra.
Commenting on the recommencement of operations Poseidon Nickel MD & CEO David Singleton remarked that this announcement clears the environmental and construction approval risk for the Project prior to financing, and as a result we maintain an expectation of nickel mining restarting in this area of the Goldfields.
The Windarra Project is a higher grade nickel sulphide deposit that has demonstrated high recovery levels through a standard nickel floatation concentrator.
