PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Canadian miner Ivernia, through its wholly owned subsidiary Rosslyn Hill Mining, has applied to have the implementation conditions of its Magellan lead carbonate project, in Western Australia, changed.

The opencut project, which forms part of the Paroo Station operation, was previously approved with a number of conditions, including how lead carbonate concentrate should be packaged and shipped, an extensive sampling programme, third-party audits, a time limit on shipping lead through the Fremantle port, and a financial assurance for the due and punctual observance of emergency response action should lead escape along the transport route.

Rosslyn Hill has now requested changes to the implementation conditions, including increasing the five-year time limit on shipping lead concentrate through the Fremantle port to seven years, thus from July 2017 to July 2024, and amending the A$5-million financial assurance in the event of a lead carbonate spill to A$2-million.

The Western Australian Minister for Environment has instructed the Environmental Protection Authority to look into and report on the change in the implementation conditions.

The Paroo Station operation was placed on care and maintenance at the start of 2015 amid difficult market conditions.
