PERTH (miningweekly.com) – The federal Department of Environment has given its support to ASX-listed Lincoln Minerals' development of its Kookaburra Gully graphite project, in South Australia.

The federal government ruled that Lincoln’s proposed development, operation and decommissioning of the Kookaburra Gully graphite mine did not classify as a controlled action, if undertaken in a particular manner, and as a result would not require further federal assessments and approval.

“This is an important and positive decision for Lincoln and paves the way for the final assessment of our mining lease proposal submitted to the South Australian Department of State Development in February last year,” said Lincoln MD John Parker.

He noted that the mining lease proposal was released for public comment in September last year, and based on the submissions received from interested parties, a response document was prepared by Lincoln and lodged this week for assessment, along with the original mining lease proposal.

The Kookaburra Gully project had an estimated 2.2-million-tonne resource, grading 15.1% graphitic carbon, containing 331 778 t of contained graphite.
