Commenting on the update, TNG’s Managing Director, Paul Burton, said: “We are close to finalising our two remaining milestone permits. Our lead environmental consultant, APM, has done a great job in helping to identify and appoint the right group of consultants to complete the required technical studies to finalise the EIS for theTIVAN® Processing Plant in Darwin. This is a large, complex downstream processing facility which is being fully assessed for its potential environmental impacts as part of the EIS and permitting process, and has required anumber of additional studies compared to the mine site EIS.”“Both the EIS and the MMP are very important documents for the Company and submission should pave the wayfor development activities to commence, subject to finance and other remaining approvals”.
