There were no comments on the referral.
We did
The EPA determined that the proposal raises a limited number of significant environmental factors that can be readily managed, and
for which there is an established condition setting framework. The proposal will be assessed as Assessment on Proponent Information (API A).
Overview
Northern Minerals Limited proposes to mine and process ore containing HREE dominant xenotime mineralisation from multiple open pits at the Browns Range site, which is located approximately 160 kilometres south-east of Halls Creek (Shire of Halls Creek).
What happens next
Following the seven day public comment period and consideration of any comments received, the EPA will decide whether or not this proposal requires environmental impact assessment and, if so, what level of assessment will be applied.
The Chairman's decisions on level of assessment are released each Monday on the EPA's website.
