Cooljarloo Mine - Falcon Extension
Tiwest propose to mine an extension of the existing mineral reserves located in the north western extremity of the Cooljarloo Mining Lease. This is a minor extension of approximately one year in duration for the dry mining component of the operation. Works are planned to commence during the latter half of 2008.
The Falcon Extension is being assessed in accordance with Section 38 of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 at the level of an Environmental Protection Statement (EPS). Details regarding the process and outcomes of the EPA's assessment can be obtained from the Environmental Protection Authority's website. The EPS and related attachments are available for download below:
