ASX Announcement & Media Release
16 October 2007
FLORA AND FAUNA SURVEY COMPLETED
Highlights
• Flora and Fauna survey completed for Patch-Gulch first pit project area
• No Priority or Declared Rare Flora or Fauna found
• Vegetation Clearance and Approval to Mine application to be submitted in the near future
Emerging nickel producer Halcyon Group Limited (ASX:HCY) has today announced the completion of a Flora and Fauna survey of
on its Canegrass Nickel Cobalt Project (CNCP) Siberia, 70 kms north, northwest of Kalgoorlie. The Flora and Fauna survey was
conducted by J & J Tucker Environmental Solutions for the purpose of gaining approval for a Mining Proposal.
The Flora and Fauna survey was based on extending work done by Outback Ecology Services in their 2003 report for Siberia
Mining Company Limited to cover Halcyon’s proposed Patch-Gulch first pit project area.
The survey identified no Priority or Declared Rare Flora or Fauna. The report also noted that the area was relatively weed free.
Managing Director, Mr Tan said that the completion of the Flora and Fauna survey is an important step in the company’s objective
to gain mining approval and commence mining by late Quarter 1, 2008, subject to suitable commercial arrangements with nearby
laterite nickel producers. The feasibility study and development plans for a low-cost, low-risk starter project is well in progress and
the Company expects to be submitting a “vegetation clearance application” and an “approval to mine” in the very near future.”
