March 2020 ii Fenix Resources Ltd Iron Ridge Biological Survey EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ecologia Environment (ecologia) was engaged by Fenix Resources Ltd. (Fenix) to conduct a detailed flora and vegetation survey and a Level 1 fauna and fauna habitat assessment, including a targeted survey for the Priority 3 listed Idiosoma clypeatum (northern shield-backed trapdoor spider), and a stygofauna survey to support environmental approvals for the proposed Iron Ridge Project over tenement M20/118 (the ‘study area’) located approximately 55 km northwest of Cue in the Murchison region. The current survey was conducted between the 2nd and 6th September 2019 and expands on a reconnaissance flora and fauna habitat survey conducted by ecologia in July 2019. Flora and Vegetation A total of 171 vascular plant taxa (species, infraspecific taxa, and phrase names) representing 37 families and 93 genera were recorded from 24 sampling sites and additional opportunistic records within the study area. No EPBC Act (1999) or BC Act (2016) listed Threatened species were recorded, however, eight state listed Priority species were recorded, including Acacia dilloniorum (Priority 1), Stenanthemum patens (Priority 1), Hemigenia virescens (Priority 3), Micromyrtus placoides (Priority 3), Prostanthera petrophila (Priority 3), Acacia speckii (Priority 4), Dodonaea amplisemina (Priority 4), and Grevillea inconspicua (Priority 4). Of these species, A. dilloniorum, S. patens, M. placoides, P. petrophila, A. speckii, and D. amplisemina have been recorded from the proposed infrastructure development envelope. Three introduced plant species were recorded from the study area: Cuscuta planifolia, Lysimachia arvensis, and Rostraria pumila. No Weeds of National Significance (WONS) or Declared Pests were recorded. Hierarchical cluster analysis was conducted using floristic data collected from 24 sampling sites surveyed within the study area. Based on this analysis, ten vegetation types were described and delineated. None of the vegetation types were assessed as corresponding to any National or State listed TEC, nor were any considered to be regionally significant based on available data. However, most vegetation types are associated with the Priority 1 PEC ‘Weld Range vegetation complexes (banded ironstone formation)’, the spatial extent of which is defined by the DBCA and includes a 500 m administrative buffer. Within the study area, 263.80 ha of vegetation occurs within the DBCA defined PEC boundary, of which 78.4 ha is within the proposed project infrastructure envelope, representing 0.3% of the total extent of the PEC. Five vegetation types may also be considered locally significant on the basis of supporting populations of Priority 1 listed species, having high overall species diversity, or being locally restricted. Vegetation condition across most of the study area was assessed as Very Good to Excellent, with no or minimal weed invasion in most areas and only minor grazing impacts. Vertebrate Fauna A Level 1 vertebrate fauna and fauna habitat assessment of the study area, including targeted searches for conservation significant fauna, was undertaken concurrently with detailed flora and vegetation survey. Fauna habitat assessments were undertaken at 12 sites to obtain representative examples of fauna habitats present. Four broad fauna habitats were identified, described and mapped within the study area. Habitats were generally assessed to be in Very Good to Excellent condition. The landforms, land systems and habitat types identified during the survey are considered locally common and the survey did not identify any restricted conservation significant vertebrate fauna habitat, or habitats that were restricted to the survey area itself. Acacia sp. Weld Range (A. Markey & S. Dillon 2994) and Acacia speckii dominated shrubland on mid and lower slopes provides suitable habitat for the Priority 3 (BC Act) northern shield-backed trapdoor spider (Idiosoma clypeatum) while mulga (Acacia aneura) woodland over ironstone ridge crests and slopes provides suitable habitat for the Priority 4 (BC Act) long-tailed dunnart (Sminthopsis March 2020 iii Fenix Resources Ltd Iron Ridge Biological Survey longicauda). The thick leaf litter associated with the minor drainage line supporting dense shrubs habitat provides shelter for the Priority 1 (BC Act) west coast mulga slider (Lerista eupoda). Fifteen vertebrate fauna species were recorded during the survey including 13 bird, one mammal and one reptile species. These represent the potential vertebrate fauna of the survey area; however, species other than those recorded are likely to occur. Five northern shield-backed trapdoor spider (Idiosoma clypeatum (Priority 3 BC Act)) burrows were recorded within the Acacia sp. Weld Range (A. Markey & S. Dillon 2994) and Acacia speckii shrubland on mid and lower slopes habitat type under acacias that exhibit narrow phyllodes. The Iron Ridge study area only contains a small area of suitable habitat (4.29% of the total study area) for this species. Survey effort within suitable habitat for this species was considered adequate. Previous survey within the Weld Range have recorded the long-tailed dunnart (Sminthopsis longicauda (Priority 4 (BC Act)) which has been given a likelihood of occurrence rating of ‘Likely (1)’ within the mulga woodland over ironstone ridge crests and slopes habitat type. The peregrine falcon has also been recorded on multiple occasion within the Weld Range and has been given a likelihood of occurrence rating of ‘Likely (1)’. This species may overfly all habitat types without utilising any part of the study area in particular. Seventeen species of conservation significance were deemed unlikely to occur due to the lack of suitable habitat including four species of mammal, 12 birds and one reptile.

Background Bellevue Gold Ltd (Bellevue Gold) is currently undertaking an exploration drilling program within mining tenement M3625 for the Bellevue Gold Project (the Project). The Project is located in the north-eastern Goldfields; approximately 40 km north of the township of Leinster in the Shire of Leonora. The Project is situated on and surrounded by pastoral lands and is located on Yakabindie cattle station. RPS was commissioned by Bellevue Gold to undertake a detailed flora and vegetation assessment over M3625 and part of M3624 to encompass the area where exploration drilling is currently underway and including the potential mining and associated infrastructure footprint (the proposed development area). The survey area, the proposed development area and the PoW 79431 area are shown in Figure A. RPS understands that the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) and the Department of Biodiversity Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) have requested additional information regarding the natural values of the PoW area, where in-fill drilling is proposed, in order to adequately assess the PoW application.

Species that have not yet been adequately surveyed to warrant being listed under Schedule 1 or 2 are added to the Priority Flora or Fauna Lists under Priority 1, 2 or 3. Species that are adequately known, are rare but not threatened, or meet criteria for Near Threatened, or that have been recently removed from the threatened list for other than taxonomic reasons, are placed in Priority 4 and require regular monitoring. Conservation Dependent species and ecological communities are placed in Priority 5.

ABSTRACT A quadrat based study of the flora and vegetation of the Robinson Ranges and Mount Gould, found 170 taxa including 1 weed taxon. Two priority taxa were recorded and two new taxa identified. Fifty quadrats were established to cover the major geographical, geomorphologic and floristic variation across the hills. Data from 49 of these quadrats were used to define seven community types. Differences in communities were strongly correlated with soil chemistry, elevation, amount of exposed bedrock, surficial rock size and slope. Several communities had restricted distributions. None the plant communities of Robinson Range or Mount Gould are currently in the secure conservation estate. INTRODUCTION by cyclonic activity off the Pilbara coast of Western Australia.
