Kalbar Resources - Fingerboards Mineral Sands Project - Potential Opportunities
Tender ID: 399689
Tender Details
Tender Description
The Glenaladale deposit is one of the largest mineral sands deposits in the world, with a JORC (Joint Ore Reserves Committee) resource of 2.7Bt of heavy mineral. It is located about 250km east of Melbourne.
The Fingerboards Mineral Sands Project focuses on a high-grade area of the Glenaladale ore body in the Eastern part of the deposit about 20km northwest of Bairnsdale. Kalbar proposes to extract 170Mt of ore to produce around 8Mt of heavy mineral concentrate (HMC) over 20 years. The project area is approximately 1,675 hectares and the total area to be mined is approximately 1,100 hectares.
Subject to approvals, Kalbar proposes to begin construction of the project in 2020. Construction and commissioning/start-up will take approximately twelve months.
The approvals process for the project commenced in the second half of 2016 and includes an Environment Effects Statement (EES) under the Victorian Environment Effects Act 1978. Kalbar anticipates that the EES will be completed in 2019. Ministerial assessment will follow.
