Managing Director Joe David said he is appreciative of the government’s support and called it the “most significant regulatory step in the project’s development to date.”
“It affirms the project’s significance to the region and the strong working relationship we have formed with regulators,” he said.
“We look forward to now working even closer with the Junta de Andalucía to bring the Oropesa Tin Project into operation for the benefit of the region and all stakeholders.”
Currently, a definitive feasibility study is underway at the project and part of that includes the optimisation study.
This optimisation study is due for release within a month and will confirm Oropesa’s size and scale as well as serve regulatory submissions.
“Applications for both the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Exploitation Licence are also in an advance drafting status,” Mr David added.
