Roe Gold Project
Overview
The proposal is to construct and operate a greenfield open cut and underground gold mine approximately 150 kilometres (km) east of the City of Kalgoorlie Boulder in the eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia (WA).
The proposal is located on the western margin of Lake Roe and will comprise associated ore stockpiles, waste rock landforms, mining related and general supporting infrastructure and a 50 km service corridor. Mining will occur below groundwater level requiring dewatering of the open pit and underground mines.
The proposal will mine an estimated 7.85 million tonnes of ore over a 9 year mine life. The mined ore will be transported offsite for processing at the Rebecca processing hub.
The Development Envelope is 1,543 hectares (ha) with a Disturbance Footprint of 557.7 ha.
Why your views matter
At this initial stage of the EIA process, comment is simply sought on whether or not the EPA should assess a proposal and, if so, what level of assessment is considered appropriate.
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 EPA's decisions on level of assessment are published on the EPA's website.
