GRUYERE PROJECT APPROVALS PATHWAY SET
Gold Road Resources Limited (Gold Road or the Company) is pleased to announce that the Environmental Protection Authority of Western Australia (EPA) has today published its level of assessment decision on the Company's Gruyere Gold Project referral. The Company was advised that under Part IV of the Environmental Protection Act 1986, the EPA will assess the project as Assessment on Proponent Information (API) Category A.
Under API Category A, the EPA will issue a scoping guideline as a basis for Gold Road to conduct its environmental review of the identified key environmental factors. Submission of the final API document is planned for September 2016 and the Company anticipates the EPA will complete its review and submit its assessment report to the Minister by the end of December 2016.
Gold Road Executive Chairman, Mr Ian Murray, commented: "We welcome this decision by the EPA which demonstrates that the Gruyere Gold Project proposal is environmentally acceptable, and that Gold Road has appropriately and effectively consulted with the relevant stakeholders during the preparation of the Referral.
"Our Project Team is focussing on completing the necessary studies to demonstrate how the Gruyere Gold Project can be developed whilst mitigating potential impacts and meeting the EPA's environmental objectives.
"I would also like to commend the Gold Road team for achieving this crucial decision in the month following the granting of the Mining Leases and concluding the Native Title Agreement."
