Mining Lease Proposal & Environmental Impact Statement

 

Central Eyre Iron Project Approved - Mining Lease & Development Approval Received

Iron Road’s Mining Lease and Development applications have been approved by the SA Government with a formal announcement being made by the Premier, the Hon Jay Weatherill MP and the Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy, the Hon Tom Koutstantonis MP on Wednesday, 3 May 2017.

Receiving the two key South Australian Government approvals for the CEIP Mine and associated Infrastructure is a significant milestone for the Company and adds to the momentum being generated in the areas of finance and construction, particularly in light of Iron Road’s strategic partnerships with China Railway Group Limited (CREC) and Emerald Grain.

The next stages of Iron Road’s development journey will include further engagement with landowners and stakeholders, preparing secondary approval applications, reaching a Final Investment Decision with CREC and ultimately achieving financial close.
