A decision to grant a Chinese linked company a mining licence on a remote West Australian island, close to a military training area, is raising concerns inside Defence and federal government ranks.
Key points:
A Hong Kong-based company was last year granted a 12-year lease of abandoned mining operations on Cockatoo Island
The Foreign Investment Review Board examined the deal, but security officials have privately expressed concerns
Liberal Senator Concetta Fierravanti-Wells says the leasing to a Chinese linked company shows current laws are defective
It has been a year of considerable challenges but ultimately a rewarding year with the major milestone being the mine permitting of our CS Pozzolan-Perlite Project in Nevada, USA. After many delays and frustrations, the Environmental Assessment for the project was completed in July 2020 and, after a public comment period, a Finding of No Significant Impact was handed down by the chief regulator, the US Bureau of Land Management. This paved the way for the issue of the mine permit Decision of Record and the mine Reclamation Permit, and the process plant Air Quality Control Permit was awarded shortly thereafter.
