Public Environmental Review - Boonanarring Mineral Sands Mine

Closed 12 Feb 2014

Opened 8 Jan 2014

Overview

Image Resources is proposing to develop a mineral sands mine at Boonanarring, north of Gingin. The proposal involves conventional open cut dry mining of mineral sands and processing of material mined through primary and secondary concentration plants to produce a heavy mineral concentrate and potential further treatment of this concentrate through a relocatable dry mill to produce ilmenite, rutile, zircon and leucoxene final products. Modification of the intersection of Brand Highway and Wannamal Road West is required to facilitate safe transport of product to market.
