Mining tenements across the Project were originally granted in the 1970s. Following this, extensive exploration activities were undertaken with the ultimate aim of defining the local geology and developing a viable mine plan. The Project was approved and commenced in 1995 with the construction of the Development Dam; however, no open cut mining has been undertaken at the site to date. Aston Resources Limited (Aston) is seeking a contemporary Project Approval to facilitate the construction and operation of an open cut mining operation extracting up to 13 Million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of Run of Mine (ROM) coal for a period of 21 years.
