Public Environmental Review - Wingellina Nickel Project

Overview

Hinckley Range Pty Ltd is proposing to mine nickeliferous limonite ore from the Wingellina deposit located approximately 1,400 km east-northeast of Perth, and use a high pressure acid leach process to produce a mixed nickel-cobalt hydroxide product for export to overseas markets via existing road and rail networks to the Port of Darwin or the Port of Adelaide. The proposal also includes a water supply borefield in the Central Officer Basin located approximately 100 km to the south-west, and an overland pipeline adjacent to and aligned with existing roads connecting the borefield and the mine site.
