Stanmore's plan for Isaac Plains East proceeds
PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Coal miner Stanmore Coal’s plan to extend the mine life of its Isaac Plains mine, in Queensland, is progressing well, with no objections recorded for the Isaac Plains East project.
The ASX-listed Stanmore on Friday reported that no submissions or objections were received during the public notification period of the mining lease application or environmental authority amendment application for the Isaac Plains East project.
The Isaac Plains East project provides a seven-year mine life extension to the current operation, leveraging off existing infrastructure from the Isaac Plains operation, which Stanmore said would result in minimal risk and a low capital cost mine life extension.
The planned opencut mining operation would be similar to the operations at the existing Isaac Plains mine, and new infrastructure would be limited to haul and access roads, run-of-mine stockpile areas, and other minimal infrastructure such as stormwater drains, pit water pipelines and sediment control works.
Stanmore said on Friday that the bankable feasibility study for the Isaac Plains East project was in its final stages, with preparations being made for construction and mining activity to start shortly after the grant of the mining lease and amended environmental authority.
These were expected to be granted in early 2018.
