Earl Grey Lithium Project - Public Environmental Review

Overview

The proposal is for conventional open-cut mining of the existing Earl Grey pit, and development of associated mine infrastructure. The new mining proposal would utilise some existing infrastructure and disturbed areas. The mining proposal involves disturbance of 660 ha of land, including new clearing of up to 392 ha of native vegetation, which is habitat for significant fauna species

Two threatened fauna species (Malleefowl and Chuditch) and one threatened flora species (Banksia sphaerocarpa var. dolichostyla), all listed as Vulnerable at the Commonwealth and State level, are known to occur within the proposal development envelope.
