PERTH (miningweekly.com) – The Western Australian Department of Mines and Petroleum has approved the project management plan for the Pilgangoora lithium project.

ASX-listed Altura Mining on Monday said the additional approval, following last week’s approval of the mining proposal, marked a further significant milestone for the project, and constituted formal approval for mining operations to start.

With all the regulatory approvals now in place, Altura will immediately start mobilisng personnel.

A previously completed definitive feasibility study estimated that the project will have a yearly ore feed rate of 1.54-million tonnes to deliver 219 000 t/y spodumene concentrate containing 6% lithium, with estimated life-of-mine cash costs of A$316/t of spodumene concentrate.

The project will cost an estimated A$139.7-million to build.
