PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Operations have resumed at TSX-listed Ivernia’s Paroo Station lead mine, in Western Australia, following an internal review and validation of the company’s systems and processes.

The operation has been under care and maintenance since April 2011, after lead was found in a sample of dried mud on the bottom of a shipping container set to be transported from the mine site to the Port of Fremantle.

At the end of March, the Western Australian Environmental Protection Authority signed off on all the preconditions and management plans required before Ivernia was allowed to restart the mine.

The company said that the ramp-up of processing operations to full production levels would be carefully managed over the next eight months to achieve nameplate processing levels by the end of the calendar year.

There was no set date for the first exports to begin; however, Ivernia expected to ship some of its stockpiled concentrate during April.

The day-to-day management of operations at the mine, including operational expertise and support, would be provided under a management services arrangement by Enirgi Metal Group, a wholly owned subsidiary of Enirgi Group Corporation, Ivernia’s majority shareholder.
