Proactive Investors - Anglesey Mining PLC has updated investors on the ongoing planning application process for its Parys Mountain copper-zinc-lead-silver-gold (Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag-Au) project on the Isle of Anglesey, North Wales, for which there was a Pre-Application Consultation on site on Wednesday, 4 April.
In a statement, Jo Battershill, chief executive of Anglesey Mining , commented: “Our company takes the regulatory, environmental and social aspects of the industry very seriously as the combination of these elements will ultimately provide Anglesey Mining with its licence to operate.
"Regular communication with the key stakeholders of any project is critical to successful permitting and planning consent, and for a large number of the statutory consultees that attended the Pre-Application Consultation on site yesterday this was their first exposure to the project and the company’s proposal.”
Battershill added: “Our internal planning has been factoring in a requirement to complete an Environmental Impact Assessment and the programmes for this commenced in the first half of last year. Consequently, the baseline surveys and ecological studies are both well-advanced and understood. The work required to further advance these programmes will continue over the course of this year.”
Anglesey is developing its 100%-owned Parys Mountain deposit which has a reported resource of 5.3mln tonnes at over 4.0% combined base metals in the Measured and Indicated categories and 10.8mln tonnes at over 2.5% combined base metals in the Inferred category.
