PERTH (miningweekly.com) – ASX-listed Metallica Minerals has received environmental approval from the federal government to develop its Urquhart bauxite project, in far north Queensland.

“This is an important milestone in the development of the Urquhart bauxite project and clearly demonstrates that the environmental plan for the project is sustainable and meets best practice standards as determined by federal authorities,” said Metallica CEO Simon Slesarewich.

The Urquhart project is expected to produce between 1.5-million and 2-million tonnes a year of direct shipping bauxite, with the project poised to deliver its first product in the third quarter of this year.

The company is still awaiting state government approval for the mining lease and environmental authority, and is also progressing a separate approval for the haul road linking the project to established port infrastructure at Hay Point.
