PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Uranium developer Toro Energy has received environmental approval for the extension of its Wiluna project, in Western Australia.

The ASX-listed company said this week that Western Australian Environment and Heritage Minister Albert Jacob had approved the revised proposal for the Wiluna project, which would see Toro construct and operate a uranium mine consisting of four deposits, and mining about two-million pounds a year of uranium oxide over 16 years.

The Ministerial consent consolidates into one revised proposal the previous Western Australian approval to mine the Centipede and Lake Way deposits, establish a processing plant at the Centipede mine site and associated infrastructure, while also approving the mining of the Millipede and Lake Maitland deposits, and constructing a haul road between Lake Maitland and the approved processing facility at Centipede.

Toro said that with the state government approval granted, the company would seek to complete the federal government assessment process by March this year.
